Darkness has won again
Sleep and rest elude me
A heavy heart; my nightly friend
I lie here; stressed and anxious
No comfort…tonight is felt
I contemplate life before me
Worry over burdens…I’ve been dealt
I see the night…pass before me
My chance for rest is passing by
Acknowledgement of…a sleepless night
My mind is shattered…by my worry
My body is…crying for sleep
With closed eyes; praying quiet will linger
Some semblance of rest my soul will keep
My heart is heavy; my mind is tired
I feel so desolate; so all alone
To seek solace through a voice by phone
Night is nearly over; morning is soon to come
Tomorrow will dawn; with no rest for the weary
My search for answers… revealing; none
