The Stages of Sleep
I can't sleep at night this is just a little something I put together to explain how I feel because of it.
8:00 P.M. The night settles in,
Beckoning the emptiness I feel.
Eternal in duration,
Time slows to a standstill.
11:00 P.M. Wrought with fear and anticipation,
Sleep never finds me.
Passively dozing, yet conscious in my mind.
These dreams I will never realize.
1:00 A.M. Time is tenuous in my mind,
Yet almost tangible.
I can feel the second hand
Beating it's cadence through my head.
3:00 A.M. Distraught, agitated, and anxious;
I curse the red numbers on the headboard of my bed.
Only three h o u r s l e f t,
Soon...no longer a thought in my head.....
