Night Owl

Why do I pace the floor
my mind a jumbled mess
while my wife lies sleeping
so peaceful and at rest?

My body aches, I cannot sleep
tho I want to be by her side.
But I only toss and turn all night
disturbing my sweet bride.

And so I sit at this computer
and try to type some words
thinking I might say something
no one has ever heard.
