I CAN'T SLEEP

Harder to settle into sleep
Thoughts float like confetti
Restless in the quiet darkness
Wonder why you're awake
Getting close to 2 o'clock
Yearning for a clear head
Something is missing here
No company in the dark
Loneliness is all you feel
If you wake from a nightmare
No one will hold you close
Only comfort from blankets
Pretending pillows are affection
