Full of unease and forbid a quiet mind,

shaking like trees in the midst of a storm,

my tears compared to the rain,

and thus starts the beginning to a long sleepless night.

Hours into early morning and I sub come to my sleeplessness,

pictures bleeding into my brain, 

visions of him.

Heavy hearted I can't fight any longer,

sleeping like the dead but fearing for my life.

Suddenly jolting out of my lifeless slumber,

panicked and pouring sweat,

has he fianlly come to finish what he started?

No, just another surreal nighmare.

Accompanied by a gentle beast 

who dries my tears and comforts me to sleep.
