Insomniac's Lament

by Twisted Heart   Mar 20, 2007


Laying in this bed of slumber
Tossing and turning inside my head
My thoughts are twisted and get jumbled
When I recall the things you said.

Sleep has alluded me one more time
The clock loudly tics away every hour
As I lay in the darkness thoughts cross my mind
And take control with their imminent power.

I feel the teardrops fall from my eyes
Inside of my soul they lay and they breathe
Holding the pain, with my heart they collide
And toss broken pieces inside of me.

The moon and the stars have gone away
Left me to fend for myself on this night
As the blankets get kicked in the dark as I pray
For dreams to release my thoughts from inside.

But dreams now are vacant
As dawn peeks through my panes
Another lost night, my prayers forsaken
And dark circled eyes are all that remain.

    That sounds exactly like some of my own nights spent in bed trying to sleep.

    Your poem was very powerful, and illustrated how it is like to not be able to sleep...5
