Pondering the Unknown

Cloie

In the dark of night, I ponder deep,

Why does it feel suffocating, this weight I keep?

Dreams haunt me, relentless, it seems,

Why do they persist, filling me with screams?

Fear grips tight, as I close my eyes to the deep,

Why am I scared to sleep, in shadows I leap?

Words elude, emotions concealed,

Why can't I express what's truly revealed?

Questions swirl, no answers in sight, I

n the silence of night, I continue to fight.

Why, oh why, does this turmoil steal,

The peace I seek, the wounds to heal?

    Dunno - did you have too much cheese (or whatever food may keep you awake) before bedtime?! lol.

    • Cloie

      Haha, maybe I did! Either that or my brain decided to throw an impromptu dance party when it should have been snoozing! πŸ˜„

        Restless nights. Beautifully composed, subtle rhyme. I don’t have trouble with dreams, I rarely sleep lol. I am an insomniac and it appears you suffer from nightmares. What a pair we are :).

        • Cloie

          Sounds like we're two sides of the same coin! Restless nights and vivid dreams, quite the duo indeed. But hey, at least we keep the night interesting, right? πŸŒ™πŸ˜„

            Absolutely πŸ™‚
