Sleepless

screaming
pain of loneliness
sears every nerve
turning day into purgatory
night into hell
where demons dance
a diabolical step
while assaulting my mind
with disjointed dreams
then awakening
in a sweat soaked bed
to find comfort
in the blue glow
of a television screen

God Kid you just described my nights,
Welcome to fright nights.
I know this so well.
Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

My heart skipped a beat reading this hon.  So sad for you, those lonely nights when you can't sleep are the worst, me besides the blue screen, have some sad music going too.
*hugs*  Beautifully expressed  

 At last I have heard the song of enlightenment.... In your heart you can hear it now, if you listen....
It is the song your spirit has been singing since the moment of your birth. All lasting victories are won in the heart....

Sometimes you merely trip and stub your toe.
Sometimes you fall to your hands and knees.
But sometimes you smack your head against the pavement and die."

Man Oh Man!
I've had a few of these in my life. I'm lucky it's only a few,
but I'll NEVER forget them!
Great poem Jonas

I too understand what its like.. Your poems describes what I'm doing right now.. I try to go to bed.. but I think too much.. Have to many things bothering me.  So I watch TV and surf the web till insane hours.. Till I pass out.. So next time you're laying there.. Feeling sad and alone.. We are there.. I am here.. Laying in a bed.. You're not alone in that respect.
