)
I cozy up..
the covers snug against my neck
not wanting cold to seep down further
into my already shaking being
somehow blinded by the fact
the chill was begun deep and long ago
unable to shake the icy beast..
Sleep eludes me..lalalala
The tired body and drooping eyes seem
no match for the raging of remembered past
overtaking my thoughts, tormenting my future
dashing all hope of now forgotten peace..
disturbing the pretence of nightly rest
Be still, my thoughts..
