Lonely nights

I can't sleep

I know I need to

Ugh, again??

Usually I have trouble getting to sleep

In the summer

It's hot

But the AC's on and my earbuds are in

Relaxing music

It's been like this the past few nights

Lonely nights now

No one to share it with

Normally I would sneak downstairs

Grab my kitty

Carry her back up the stairs to my room

She'd purr and knead me to sleep

Now all I have are my thoughts

My problems

An endless void

And a grainy recording of what used to be

And the lonely nights

Become sleepless too.

    Walked all over by my friends

    My peers

    I can't DO this

    This constant emotional bombardment
