A Moment's Sleep

Insomnia

Upon the midnight hour

It did arrive

With little celebration

By anyone.

Graced by

Hypnos' appearance

At my bedside.

Ending

My long hours

Of torture.

Knowing

Relief is

Only temporary

For me.

Easily disturbed

By the slightest noise

Or movement.

Destroying

Any hope

Of lasting healing

Mental or otherwise.

As the circles

Around my eyes

Grow ever darker.
