NOT TONIGHT

Yawn.
Waiting for dawn.
Nights just too long. An overplayed song.
Waiting for daylight—eyes open-tight.
Sigh.
Worries make bad lullaby.
Night’s just too long.  An overplayed song.
Never so restless as when trying to rest.
A waste—though I give it my best.
Waiting for morning.  In mourning?
What will tomorrow bring?
When will that **** alarm ring?
I hate sheep.  Still can’t sleep.
Think. About not thinking.
Blank slate ‘til sunlight breaks.
Groan.
Still wide awake
Night’s just too long—
Yawn—
When waiting for dawn.
