Insomnia

Insomnia

So long I sleep the sleep

The pain it ebbs and flows

Sometimes I feel still awake

Sometimes I never know.


I dream the dream of patients

I see them one by one

The pain sometimes so searing hot

Nothing can be done.


It is such a better thing

To sleep and run away.

Ah the dreams they are so sweet

I long for better days.



So long I sleep the sleep

The pain it ebbs and flows

Sometimes I feel still awake

Sometimes I never know.
