Shadows of Night

In the quiet of the night, I long for rest,

A dreamless slumber, peaceful, blessed.

But sleep eludes, a distant shore,

A gift I yearn for, evermore.


How nice it is to close my eyes,

And drift away to serene skies.

With lights ablaze every night, they steal my rest.

On floors I lie, my heart feels torn,

Each night a battle, each dawn reborn.


Awakened often, sleep slips away,

In the shadows of night, I endlessly sway.

Excuses or not, the struggle is real,

Who do I tell of the ache I feel?


How do I break from this endless fight,

To find the solace in the night?
