Sleep
Where are you?
Tossing and turning
Night after night
I am exhausted
But no relief do I find.

Close my eyes
And the nightmares start
Which is worse
Being tormented by memories
Or physical exhaustion ?

How do I stop the dreams?
How do I stop the memories?

How can you still cause me
so much pain 40 years later??

Sleep...is not my friend.
It's becoming harder to function as the days continue, I have hit a streak of pure exhaustion, I can sleep for hours and hours and I wake more tired and tormented then before.
