The bitter taste of insomnia slithers down my esophagus
Boiling and tormenting my innards
Earlier I witnessed dusk, now I'm acknowledging dawn

Trembling with aches and fatigue
I watch her as she sleeps in gentle silence
I dare not touch her or move from my place
I don't wish to disturb her

The atmosphere is sickly quiet and vacant
Only the tapping of my keyboard echoes through the walls
I can see the oddly shaped human-like shadows
But I prefer to hope they're only mirages

I wonder what she may be dreaming of
The stench of nightmare lurks among her
I will do my best to keep her safe
