sleepless

i'm petrified.
petrified by thoughts.
thoughts of me going to sleep,
and will never be able to wake up,
ever again.
so i stay awake,
and can't seem to fall asleep.
as i'm petrified.
petrified by that fate,
that fate that seems so unlikely,
but did befallen someone dear to me.
so i stay awake,
dreading every second that crawls away,
counting every minute that drips along,
my wide awaken thoughts.
