~ Sleepless Night ~

Sleepless Night ............



I awake in the middle of darkness,
my brow covered in sweat.
My heart races,
from the fear I cannot forget.

My eyes search for you,
I scream your name.
I try to breathe,
to stop myself going insane.

Where are you?
Where have you gone?
Have I woken,
or has the nightmare just begun?

Why is it so black?
Why this recurring dream?
Why can’t I find an answer?
Why is nothing as it seems?

I sleep, yet I am awake.
Please answer me,
for God’s sake.

I fall down a never-ending hole,
the room spins;
I lose control.

It is now morning.
I jump in fright.
Your arms surround me,
squeeze me tight.

I bury my head in your chest
and breathe a sigh of relief;
you are still here,
and mine to keep.

Opening your eyes,
you gaze deeply into mine.
I feel your love,
I know you are kind.

You will never hurt me,
this much is true;
but my mind is restless,
it makes me blue.

I must be positive
and follow the light
to forget my past
and this sleepless night.
