Insomnia

03/24/08

Its been days now
Since the last time I have slept
Thoughts have stagnated
Every night I have wept

Night by night pain grows
As a shadow through the day
My mind is losing
I don’t know how long I have to pay

It is impossible to hold back
To contain my anger, my fear
I try to hit out violently
But instead I hurt myself deeper

I can't assuage the cause for this
Neither can I destroy myself
The thought of wounding what I love
Will kill whatever I have left

Now there seems no respite from here
So I beg everyone for a cure
Just a few minutes of sleep
Just a few minutes… sound and pure
