Sleepless nights.
Restless dreaming.
Trembling in the darkness as the visions keep on seeping.
Wake up in a cold sweat
Silent screams seep from my mouth and whisper down my neck
I turn away
Ashamed
Lower my head
And close my eyes again
A single tear falls onto my sheets
And I realize what this world is giving to me
Every ounce of happiness
Stolen by another's grasp
Every ounce of hope
Shifting from one hand to another
Leaving me behind with nothing
Again
As always
I turn and grasp for something close
I find nothing.
A picture on my phone
Is the only thing in my reach
The only thing to calm me down
That face
I'm growing dependent of
Those eyes.
Staring into my soul
And for once.
I enjoy it.
being stared at.
As I stare back.
I'm not running from you.
You can't break me down
If there's one thing I hang on to.
That gets me through the night.
Your voice keeps me from breaking
Even if I wanted to
Every night they come
The dreams and the nightmares
All in one
As I lay there and beg for sanity
Nothing comes
Still
In the back of my head
A fear is constantly growing
What if I'm not the one?
The one you think I am....
What if what I am....
Isn't what you are expecting...
And what if....
This Highlander...
Isn't the one....

- Title: The Restless Nights
- Artist: Lycothersus
- Description: One of my longer poems I wrote on a night that I refused to sleep due to constant nightmares and lack of sleeping pills. There is a girl in it, mentions how she keeps me calm when I am worried about my future and about what the nightmares mean. It took me about 5 minutes to write it. And the Highlander bit at the end is because I like yelling out "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE HIGHLANDER" when I do something stupid in videogames :p

- I liked the whole, and what if this highlander isn't the one. I rate it 4/5 just because of what weezieishness said about the stanzas. But very good figurative language.

- Thank you weezie ^^ I'll try looking more into the stanzas thing. And sorry it wasn't to your liking Dark, never said I aimed to please. If you meant to offence then why say it to begin with?

- Cool. I recommend breaking it up into stanzas though, makes it easier to read. But good writing, love "Silent screams seep from my mouth"- awesome alliteration there.
