A Restless Insomniac

They call me a restless insomniac

Sleep deprived and a little depressed

That is not how I see it  

A loving soul is inside of me

A little fragile and needs a constant caress



The night comes on so very blind

It goes on and on until the daylight

Bragging on about her hold

Upon my life that it controls



I would not settle for anything less

A lot to cover within this mess

A fear haunts me on missing out

On life and her colorful breast

Tattooed and etched upon her chest

Souls of blind and the oppressed



Time is limited within this life

A lot to see and a lot to suppress

I might get my peace at the end

An eternal rest of satiated sleep
