In the dark of the night as I lie awake
Quite obsessed
Begging rest
For my mind to take
No repose do I find lying in my bed
But I wait
Contemplate
What goes through my head
I am still ever still as the night time creeps
Inching by
For a while
But dear God no sleep
Twisted shapes in the dark dance around the night
Beading sweat
Silent yet
While my fever spikes
And the moon waxes on through the night it creeps
I’m obsessed
Begging rest
But dear God no sleep
