Sleepless

I watch the pale moonlight peaking through the curtains

A pale blue sheen that paints the ceiling

I watch the wall for hours on end

Knowing that when the sun's rays peak into the morning sky

My eyes will be bloodshot red


Going through the day is like floating in a pool

Aware where I am while my mind is somewhere else

Voices flow from one ear and out of the other

And my mind is slowly turned into mush


But I can't stop it

I live for the dreams I experience when I'm awake

As I lay sleepless in my bed

Hoping that another night won't make my head ache
