-
I seem to be tired,
But I'm laying here wide awake.
I seem to be lying perfectly still,
But the entire room seems to quake.
I'm covered in dark when I close my eyes,
But flashes seem to come 'round.
And it feels like people are yelling and screaming,
But no one is making a sound.
On nights like this, I think of the beach,
And the woman I currently love.
I try to grasp these fantasies,
Until the nightmares beat me from above.
I try to think of the marvelous things,
Before they are taken away.
I try to find a good state of mind,
But in restlessness, I stay.
I can feel the cool breeze of the overhead fan,
It carresses me, or so I think.
Despite feeling the air, I'm burning red hot,
And all my comforts, gone in a blink.
My pillow isn't cool and it feels like stone,
And my blankets' heat's uninviting.
The only good thing is I'm thinking of you,
It seems to be my silver lining.
I try to think of nothing at all,
As I stare dismal, into no light.
But all I can do is hope for a dream,
On this seemingly restless night.
