Insomnia

Hushed whispers, silent songs
Voices in my head
Crawling seconds, flickering lights
Minutes that have bled

Uneasy blinks, extended breaths
I slowly lose control
Blank mind, deaf ears
Empty like my soul

Thoughts struggle to formulate
Words struggle to come out
Dazed, confused is all I am
Desolate beyond any doubt

Sand trickles through the hourglass
Yet time does not pass
A few nights gone by like this
Each slower than the last
