Nightmares and Insomnia

Detriment

Why can't I stay alone?

I'm always taking flight.

Would like to stay at home,

But still go out at night.

Don't even have a heart;

There's just an empty space—

I fill it with your wine—

Now I'm redressing at your place.

I mean why do I even bother?!—

To fight the dark inside?

It eats at me when I slumber—

So I can never run and hide

There's often little struggle

My thoughts—they just...

Divide.

I walk among the pins and needles—

My thoughts begin to over crust.

I sink into my over-thinking;

And I have nightmares even when I’m awake.
