Insomnia

Night escapes
Like water slipping through my fingers
Every second drawing morning closer
And pushing time away and yet
I cannot sleep for my mind
Is not at rest

Midnight

It was so cold that I needed you to lie beside me, warning me as you did
I fell asleep on a night too young
Only to be awakened by the sound of
Your breathing and the comfort of
Soft falling rain, it is midnight and
I am awake
