As a child i never knew
These nights were so long,
I have no clue if I am longing for my sleep or someone who is so far away.
There is something about this night,
That is not letting me close my eyes.

Its not the first time a night has tortured me,
It is so dark to see,
What is happening around
So dark to see you,
See how am I broken apart.

I knew it would scare me,
How i cannot stop my thoughts,
How my organs are screeching,
Maybe, the darkness i am witnessing is not even about the night,
My childhood self could have never felt this and i am glad.

But something which is so similar yet so different from my childhood and now is,
That sleeping is still a punishment to me..
