sleeplessness, insidious and dangerous, nights dragging down the days, and each minute lasts an eternity. i was twisting and turning, my thoughts were passing and reoccurring, just like a minor key that brings you back to me, and it's sad and sometimes lonely.

and i listen to a radio, a podcast from long ago, it all seems so very old and also, very slow. i just can't close my eyes. the shadows and the silhouettes, the shapes that dance like marionettes, what is real and what is not, the endless spin of discomforting endless restlessness. breathing in and breathing out, i just can't turn off my mind, it's like a star that shines to bright, each photon burns up the light and leaves me hanging every night in sleeplessness.

thoughts projected ebb and flow, etherial and mysterious, not quite tangible, all my dreams are up in smoke, or were they vaporised by the attension focused from a mind that cannot stop, it just turns and burns every fleeting image it tries to hold, just let it go and go to sleep. 

all you have to do, is fall. that's all.

all you have to do is fall, that is all.

all you have to do 

is fall asleep

fall

and

sleep
