Sleepless Night
lay your head close your eyes,
time for your soul to unwind,
but thousands of thoughts roll through
your mind,
will sleep be able to come tonight or will it
allude me like the stars in the daylight,
is it my own selfishness or the worry for
my loved ones that leaves me with unrest
it's the deepest darkest feelings locked
away inside this chest,
no skeleton key can pick this lock because
it has only one way in one way out,
my biggest fear is that it will never get out
