and staying up more,

and I feel as if I have been here before.

yet sleep's sweet embrace eludes me.

and I fall victim to the sounds and the sights.

Reality and fantasy blur,

and I seek a way to tell dark from light.

I can see one now, on the stair.

 

The little girl cries out,

and the man stands over my bed.

And I thought both of them were real,

but, forget what I said.
