This Night I am, <br />So sleepless and lost, <br />Lost from sleep and lost in thought. <br />Moment by moment the darkness fades into light, <br />And yet no sleep appears to be sight... <br /> <br />I am wandering about. <br />Though in bed, <br />I am millions of miles and year and days away. <br />I remember the past so painfully well. <br /> <br />Sleep seems to beckon to me, <br />But always at a distance, tonight. <br />Why am I haunted by my memories? <br />Why can I not start from a new? <br /> <br />I am restless and dreamless. <br />I am reminiscent and dying of hurt. <br />How can I fall, <br />So softly, quietly, and quickly to sleep? <br />When all I see, <br />And hear, <br />And think of, <br />Is you?<br /><br />Peter Vector<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-sleepless-night/
