Insomniacs Curse

Sounds that aren't there Rattling inside my exhausted brain Tossing turning Thinking about yesterday Tomorrow Things that will probably never happen Heart is racing I try to breath through my nose Like a freight train it comes out my mouth Please God calm my spirit Give me rest Breathing slows Still sleep eludes me Legs feel like tree stumps Back has dull ache Should I get up Maybe read for a while Surely that would put me to sleep Mary is sleeping so soundly Don't want to wake her Oh how I envy her Think of water I must remember to call ........ No think of water Clear my mind, let it be blank Why do I keep looking at that stupid clock?? I start to fade Sweet sleep take me in your arms Drifting Falling, leg jerks Wide awake again, will this night ever end? Sleep used to be my best friend Why has it turned into my enemy It's comforts elude me Where are those sweet dreams I rarely remember In an hour it will be time to get up Zzzzzzzzz Alarm clock has no chance
