To Sleep

It's too warm
Yet any fewer layers and I'd be exposed
- exposed to whom, of what?

If this is what my nights have come to;
blurry eyes and a busy mind, I think I'll pass on another one.

With heavy eyes I succumb to sleep;
an escape - except not really.
It's just as dark, as close, as lonely.

Warm and wet it travels down my check.
I wake and wipe the sole physical reminder of my constant mental torched.

Days, weeks, months... years pass
The cycle continues.

... sleep still doesn't come easy.
