Insomnia

By beauteincendie

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Years and years agoI woke in the middle of the nightPeaceful slumber disturbedNever to be the sameI dreamed I was perchedHigh upon a cliff wallUnknowing I looked downAnd took a nasty fallSince that nightThe dreams get worseOften wake in tearsThe dread and fear of sleepless nightsBecomes realitySometimes hours passBefore sleep overtakes meAll the tricks in the bookCan not help me now or everI've tried every single oneI am so afraidOf going to bed at nightBecause I won't manage to stand itIf I have another sleepless nightOr another frightening nightmare Written August 7th, 2001 © on Aug 08 2001 05:13 AM PST   0 • 1
