Restless thoughts intent upon invasion
Denying the bliss of sleep's persuasion
The subtle intricacies of the subconscious division
Spelling out the hopelessness of all indecision
Signs of the depravity of the human condition
Which can only result in dwelling upon perdition
The conscious effort spent attempting peace of mind
Feels as though it has been a waste of precious time
For the stillness and solace I so desperately seek
Seems to taunt from under the devastation I wreak
Behind me I see only destruction in my wake
A breadcrumb trail comprised of heartache
Yet again sleep's evasion has lasted
through the night
Giving way to glimpses of dawn's traitorous light
