"Sleep don't come easy. It evades me. Images behind my lids static hazily. I know you're there. Every night, I feel the weight of your presence awaiting me..in my nightmares. It never fails. Cold sweats, heavy breathing, I stir awake and you're right there. Here. Exactly where I want you to be, until I realize my mind is again being unfair, playing tricks on me. An optical illusion; the image I see is merely a reflection of me. You were never here. Disappointment breeds fear. Tears flow, staining my pillow clear. I just want to sleep without wanting you near. Is that too much to ask?"
