Insomnia

The sun shines on your 
Dark eyes 
Pale face 
Blank mind
Veiled emotion 
This is the aftermath of deprivation 

The moon sparks up your
Overrun mind
Burdened by today's thoughts 
Reminded of yesterday's emotions
Revisited by last year's memories
Tempted by next year's ambitions 
This is you...deprived
