Sleepless nights

Flat on the bed

Sides or front

Staring into darkness,

While your mind wonders on

It replays the torture

Like a ticking clock of doom

Closing your eyes?

It only gets darker

The wind keeps you up!

The sound of your heart beat

Your very own breath

Are the monsters that wake you

Can't shut out the music

It's all in your mind

Creating a death bed

Then running from it

You can't seem to find;

The peace they enjoy

Sleep

You yarn and you pray for

No ears to your cry

What you would do;

To make it all stop

You hold in a sob

You fight it away

Tears flow like a River

While your heart races like waves

You yell in silent

Beg for some peace

Your consience weeps you;

At each of your sides

It dons you;

You're all alone

You start to panic

At a truth you know

It tells you you're worthless

It tells you you're aimless

It weakens you

Knocking your knees

So you fall flat down

And you take your last breath

Trembling and shaking

You stare at a weapon

To end all your worries

To make you find peace

You reach out to it

Ready to give in

Already weapping;

For a war gone and lost

Yet like a savior behind

Turns you around

Shutting your eyes

Dieing your thoughts

You'll be fine in the morrow

It's the pattern of your night.
