sleeplessness
lying awake in lonely bed,thoughts cascading in tourtured head,
oceans of thought too deep to wade,
whirling currents of dreams like moths in a lamp shade,
thoughts of delight and of dread,
thoughts of things that i should have said,
things of dark and of light,
things that could've been this night,
things of joy and things of blue,
but happier still are thoughts of you.
oh sleepless night when can i rest,
when will i pass your test,
how can i get these things up off my chest,
day in day out i've tried my best,
my eyes too tired too sore to weep,
i close my eyes in hopes to sleep,
sometimes afraid that i may dream,
afraid of waking up to scream,
i wish i had an off switch in my brain,
all this thinking may drive me insane,
torrents of thought haunt my nights,
till i exausted i slumber or till the days warm light.
