RESTLESS
Restless night
Brought about this heavy tone
Everything is irritating me
I need to be alone
Bad dreams seemed to hound me
Caught in their anxious bite
Struggled to calm my brow
Nightmare stories are a blight
Curse those wretched thoughts
That chew away at my at thread
No peace at all
Lay shaking in my bed
Watching pure darkness
Come to life with the dew
I throw away my covers
And decide to see the day through
For while I am busy
About my business I will deal
Those shapes and illusions
Cannot pretend to be real
Though I fear tonight
As sleep will call to touch
Those demons in my mind and
Misery will attempt to clutch
