Insomnia
July 26, 2013
when sleep is just out of your grasp
you can almost touch it
but its not quite there
slipping out of our fingers
getting a taste
but its just a tease
you lay there in a haze
peaceful, almost restful
but not sleep
no never sleep
when the thoughts are swirling
you cant stop them
they have a mind of their own
keeping you up all night long
shadows dancing on the walls
measuring the hours
until you leave this unfulfilling trance
to a classic insomniac
sleep was never really an option. :(

I LOVE THIS. It's so true (not that I would actually know, I'm not an insomniac, but, I'm just guessing) and I love the last line and also all the description. Perfectlly describes not being able to sleep.
