| sleepless nights |
| i lay and go unrested on a sleepless night. my eyes go unshut and my body goes unrested. the thoughts run through my head but go unfiltered into dreams. the times passes slowly as the night moon beckons the morning sun. i stare out of my window only to see my own reflection. even now, as this pen run over papaer, i suffer from sleepless nights. my body cold and uncovered as i lay alone. my mind not at ease from the day's toils. my fingers are worn to writing, yet i persist. i am sleepless with my plush company. he goes unspoken, but he is spoken for. the sheets seem less and less of protection. cold air from my ceiling seems to leave my body hopless. the air still feels wonder ful on my skin. so may the rotations on high sooth my nerves. may the air still my body. and may the darkness shelter my eyes on this sleepless night. |
