Night time.

I can’t sleep, I can’t rest

My mind's going a million miles a minute

Filled with echoes of the past and mountains of the future

And I’m stuck in the in-between

A place that begs for death

A place void of light

Health is crippling and my reality is fading

Hours go by,

There’s hours of this.

The day and night become indifferent

Old tricks of distracting the pain don’t seem to work anymore

And I’m left in the dark

With just my heartbeat to keep me company

She seems to believe in me even when I don’t
