I cannot seem to fall asleep tonight,

Just tossing and turning left and right.

Thinking of nothing as I lay there,

While undoing knots in my hair.

I try to dream of something, anything,

While in despair of what time may bring.

Night time seems to be taking forever,

Should I go to sleep now, or never?

Into the empty dark I'm left staring,

Sad thoughts leave my eyes tearing.
