Sleepless Nights

Tossing and turning, All through the night, The same old thoughts, are starting to fight. Another day to come, Just like the last, Stuck in bed, Another day fades into the past Holding my phone, Longing for a sign, A glimmer of hope, A caring lifeline. But the screen stays blank, No messages to find, My heart starts to sink, Left alone in my mind Sleep seems inviting, A chance to escape, But these thoughts persist, The pain hard to shake. It's hard to believe, That anyone would see, If i were to leave, Would anyone grieve? These thoughts are a burden, That I carry all the time. And it's worse in the nighttime May 11th 2023
