I can hear a never-ending buzz.
Vibrating to my ears.
The soft cold thin air.
Embracing.
I looked up
Stared at the ceiling
Thinking
Why am I still awake
Despite of the night's horror
Of what it can cause
Nightmares? Ghastly illusions?
Strange noises of things falling apart.
I might be afraid
But it might also be
The calling of the night
Where the sleepless
Stays awake.
