guess you don't need to count sheep
with someone else by your side
which memories will you keep,
the ones where you didn't lie?
will you paint me as a villain
after you said you loved me
it's killin' me
so I guess I'll just count sheep
one, two, three...
are you thinking 'bout me?
'cause these pillows are harder than I remember
No one wants to be alone in the middle of December
I'm counting sheep like we used to do
I thought I could count on you
the stars are dark and it's hard to see
this isn't where I want to be
I'm trying not to care about what once was
like someone alone always does
But I promise I won't interfere
I'll just count my sheep up here
and maybe have another beer
one, two three...
are you thinking 'bout me?
Isn't it funny how you get cut so deep
doing something stupid like counting sheep
but I guess you don't need to count sheep
with someone else by your side
which memories did you keep
did you forget how to count sheep?

Poetry: Insomnia
Take a pill for this and take a pill for that
Lock the doors, turn out the lights and don't forget the cat
Put on your pj's
I’m trapped again in this dizzy dance
Where I writhe alone, spinning
In this restless trance.
Back and forth as the tide
by Gemma Toner
Insomnia
No sleep.
No escape.
She is haunting the house now, moving like shadow;
Light as a whisper in the almost- morning
No
by Jon Coe
I wish to sleep, on heavy eyes
just one minute, please tantalize
But alas, as soon as I begin to dream
I am awakened, by this
by C.M. Tucker
If windows would close long enough,
Maybe unexpected dreams would rise
And challenge pain
That keeps insomnia company.
