Can't Sleep

Great cant sleep yet again, time to remember memories pain, the tick tock of the clock is driving me insane,

Stare at the walls, as they crash burn fall stare at the door as darkness surrounds and asks for more,

Twisting and turning slumber I'm yearning leave me be! Even in sleep not free!

Lay awake so I'll sit up straight, maybe some tea? That might make sleeping easy,

Nope not a thing I'll try another drink, my senses become drunk while I sit and think, mind full up way past the brink,

Forget this I'll take a pill yuk it's making me feel ill! I don't need help to sleep when its the nightmares that creep,

When I rest they get deep into my chest, so sleeping longer won't help me will it? Well it won't of course not you twit!

Ah well maybe later in the day, I'll call to you to scare them away, to cover there eyes in your heroic disguise,

To give me sweet dreams instead of blood curdled screams, to help me have a perfect nights sleep, instead of leaving me here to weep.

Can't sleep again time for a trip down memory lane.

Sleep?

The lack of sleep is puzzling me, The bags under my eyes are bursting at the seams. Night and day is slowly becoming the same thing, Slowly but surely my mind and body is changing.

10:30pm antsy, pacing the room and studying every little nicknack on my bedside table...all I hear is my mother locking up for the night 12:06am anxious...I'm the only one awake.

Dream Sweet sleep

How can I raw like meadows. Disappear like wind. Dreams without solid ground. Noises sounding round and round. Bitten tongues bleeding. Racing and dropping. Aching level head.

Sleep sleep sleep, Still can't sleep Even though I'm tired and crumpled in bed in a strange heap.

Insomnia Noise

Your feet crunch loudly on the ground. A retched, hollow burning sound. In your chest your heart does pound. You are the lost waiting to be found. Your skinny legs continue to sway.

Nightmare

I wake to find myself in tears The dream revealed my biggest fears It dragged me out then pulled me in I can't get back to sleep again And if I do what does await. Another thing from Hells great gate.
