Insomnia

I am so tired
But why can’t I
Keep my eyes shut?

I guess I need you here
I guess I’m afraid
Once I fall asleep,
My senses will fall into a coma

And I can’t feel you anymore.

Even though dreams
Are made of gold
Alluring and desirable

But there’s always a chance
That all I’ll see is darkness
And I can’t find you
And I’m scared I’ll lose my way

What if I don’t wake from this sleep?

So here I am
Lying fatigued and conscious
Dreaming of memories
Instead of mysteries

And maybe then
My mind will trick me
Into seeing you

Before my eyes

Writer's note: I'm sure we all experienced it, where this person is just so fixated on our minds that sleep is sacrificed.
