Sleepless

Sleepless nights

Staying awake

Not daring to close my eyes

Tossing and turning

Underneath the sheets

Restless

Demons that haunt me

Awake and

Asleep

Virtual images of life

Cruelly distorting and twisting

When I finally fall asleep

For a time

That only lasts a couple minutes

Before waking again

Sporting dark eyes in the morning

Bags hanging under

Tell-tale signs of little sleep

Dreaming

Thinking

Of food and calories
