Sleep - it won't come.
I'm so weary -
tossing, twisting,
tied by fetters of taut, sweat-drenched
thought.
I throw off the sheet,
rearrange, again
again...again.
Time does not wait
for the search.
The night grows
weary with me,
alongside a twisted,
distorted clock.
Always forward, forward
never stopping, no looking back -
impossible machine.
Running my life
forward, forward...
cluttered sleep for moments
then morning.
Again, I awake.
You are still there
staring at me
from a distance.
