Tick tock tick tock,
Another night of looking at the clock
No matter what I do or say
Nothing will let me fade away
Each night it comes to me in waves
This creature comes with slaves
Helpers to turn my greatest desire
Into something like ashes from an abandoned fire
The thirst I have to find my sleep
Is the one thing I wish to keep.
But it seems that is not meant to be
As I sit here mumbling curses, you see
For all the thoughts I wish to hide
Come with me with hordes abide
If only I could find the cure
To keep my restful sleep pure
If only, on only it could be true
It’s just, the reality is blue
As I battle the insomniac heart
Forever more a battle set apart.
