Sleepless Nights


Another sleepless night, 

I watch the clock and I toss and I turn,

I watch my clock, 

As time moves on,

My souls uncomfortable,

I can't sit right,

It's like an electric buzz around me,

Fight or flight,

Energy mixed with unbridled rage running through my veins,

It jumps right through my brain and straight to my heart,

Im pacing the floor,

The time easily comes and goes, 

Tik Tok,

Irratation arising too,

Another sleepless night, 

And it was on these nights I learned,

Nightmares weren't just for dreams, 

I was wide awake and it was still filled with horror thoughts of you.
