Nightmares

10:00

Some conversation starts

A debate usually

But it’s a fun debate,

And I laugh.

10:39

The debate,

Or the conversation that followed,

Comes to a close

A goodnight is wished

And then the sadness settles over me

11:02

I’m fighting sleep

Wishing it was later

Trying to find something to pass the time

To help the hours pass by

12:17

It’s late enough

I can at least shut off the light

Kill time on my phone

Watch one of my favorite TV shows

And pass a few more hours in the dark

1:19

Once again I remember

The time represents happiness

But it makes me sad

Because there’s only six hours before I have to be up

And once again, I wasted another night

2:23

I need to sleep

The conversation, the debate

They’re in my head again

And I remember that it ended almost four hours ago

Then I grow sad again

And surrender myself to the nightmares
