Sleepless Night

It’s dark, The silence wraps around me tight. I’m alone And I can’t sleep. The moonlight shines through my window Keeping me awake. Thoughts of nothing Run rapidly through my mind. Look at the clock and regret it: 2:30 AM And I’m still lying here Eyes wide open Staring blankly at the ceiling Barely visible in the dark. Hours pass like minutes And minutes pass like hours. Soon the morning comes Betraying me as the sun comes up Forcing me out of bed. Eyes heavy, I rise and start my day.
