Insomnia

In the hush of the night I lay awake Captive in this large shadowy lake In the silence of this night Beneath the moon so bright The world around me sleeps in peace As the dark night hours start to increase Yet here I lie my mind not still Is it too late to reach for a pill? Time silently crawls As I watch shadows dancing on the walls The night is a canvas my thoughts the paint Colouring emotions without restraint The night whispers secrets into my restless head As I lay awake tossing and turning in my bed Longing for rest that seems miles away Trapped in the silence that comes after the day As dawn’s first light begins to creep I mourn the loss of sleep so sweet I rise with bags left under my eyes Greeting the day with such a disguise But when darkness falls I’ll try once more To drift beneath the velvet shore.
