Sleepless Nights
toss and turn
turn and toss
awake forever
feeling cross
try sleeping tricks
counting sheep
relaxing muscles
breathing deep
think of work
worry a lot
much too cold
but then too hot
lie on belly
turn on back
sigh a lot
desire snack
stare at the dark
get up for drink
check the phone
watch you tube link
nudge your partner
wake them up
deny you did
tempers erupt
no sleep at all
try not to weep
dawn light appears
drop off to sleep
