All I have
I awake in
fright
Not quite
morning
Sometime still in
the
Middle of the
night
The bed tore up
Head sweat drenched
Sheets wrapped
wound
Round me tight
Nightmares
All I have
Of you
Still
Breathe deep
Quiet the beast
Raging inside
my chest
Hart hurting
needs a rest
This fight or
flight response
Not quite right
for tonight
Sheets wrapped
wound
Round me tight
Nightmares
All I have
Of you
Still

ReplyDeleteI have so many nights like this, sometimes I wonder why try sleep at all. Here's to more serenity in our nights and lives sweet friend! (Hugs)Indigo
ReplyDeleteThinking Of You
ReplyDeletePerhaps one day soon
you will have a simple night,
the beasts gone elsewhere
instead of eating
your shredded sinews.
I saw
where you want a meal
from me instead of
my prayers or thoughts of you.
How about this one?
I spent the night with my friend Kimmy last weekend. We slept in a trundle bed like we were still 5 :) In the morning she asked how I slept. "Fine" I said, having taken my sleeping pills. "You did not sleep fine." she said. I toss, I turn, I talk in my sleep, I scream. I fight my demons by day and night it seems. One day we will win Chris. I imagine your health has as much to do with it as anything these days. Wishing you peace and healing friend...and perhaps some soft arms to sleep within.
