No Sleep

No Sleep

Can't sleep at night

My eyes focus on the walls, talking in the fading shades

That were once bright and new.

Lingering on the old books

Sitting on the tabletop,

Untouched and covered in patterns of dust.

Pictures form in my mind's eye,

Some pleasant, some not.

The light breeze slipping in through the windows,

Kissing my cheeks.

The weight of the blanket,

Providing a comforting warmth

Still, can't sleep at night.
