Struggled to Sleep

Sleepless was the night  
When mind flurried into thoughts  
Night slowly descended  
Then light filled & lit the room  
 
Realize... day has come  
 
I can feel my body  
Heavy of exhaustion  
Eyes, and head, unsteadily aware...  
 
I wonder  
Why I've not slept  
Ponder for reasons  
Yet  
No word comes to mind...  
 
I am half-alive  
 
Search for the blame  
For what kept me awake  
 
Then I remind myself...  
Of what went through my brain
 
Dreary thoughts  
Undying lust  
All that I've bled & yearned for...  
 
 
So I write To settle  
My thoughts, curiosity  
 
In hopes to finally fall asleep  
To restore my life force
