Insomnia

It's another night of sleeplessness. I get right up to the edge of sleep, but, instead of slipping over easily, I'm snatched back. 

It's a night when I'm trying to go without any sleeping pill. Sometimes I make it; sometimes I don't. So tonight I gave up. In 25 minutes maybe it will come. 

I sometimes have weird dreams with the sleeping pills. Hell, I have weird dreams often anyway. What the difference?

It's a night when I call to Katie to come into my dreams so I can see her again. It's a night with tears in my pillow. My eyes ache and weep. 

And sleep will not come easily tonight.
