Insomnia

Tired. Can't sleep. Why does the pain never end. I feel so worthless. Scared of living. Don't want to face more pain.

The quiet. It's eery. No one awake but me.  Lights are off. Feels like it's closing in. Will I ever find the escape?

Just hold me. Tell me it's alright. Tell me we're going to be okay.

Don't leave me here. Left behind. Don't make me waste another day.

Their little hearts. So precious. So afraid I've done them wrong.

I need to reach them. Pull them close. I'm afraid it's already too late.

Eyes are drooping. Sleep is coming. Will write again another day.
