The Edge of Silence

I’m so tired but cannot sleep,
motionless, thoughts float to the surface
disturbing the mirrored reflections
with ripples (of fear?)

I’m so tired, it’s time to sleep,
fall over the edge of silence,
into the absence of light to be
in a place my mind cannot rule.

  4. Ain't sleeplessness a bitch Shadow? I rarely sleep more than 2-3 hours at a stretch but it's physical pain that wakes me and desire once it's abated that keeps me up.

    I would hate to hate the night.
