Sleeplessness, you have come 

To wake me up again.

Your long arms and fingers

Shaking me awake.

Large staring eyes with hooded

Lids, not blinking.

Why are you sleeping?

Talk to me about

Many things.I am lonely.

I need to communicate with you.

I am fearful, pessimistic,

Scared,critical.

You can make me feel better

Talk to me.

Reassuring me everything  will

Be alright. Stop.

Stop shaking me.Stop keeping 

Me awake, intruding

Into my life..The next night

 Sleeplessness came again.

I was prepared.

I had glued my eyes shut.

Now by force of will

I cannot see you.

.I sleep like a baby.
