Calling of The Night

I can hear a never-ending buzz.

Vibrating to my ears.

The soft cold thin air.

Embracing.

I looked up

Stared at the ceiling

Thinking

Why am I still awake

Despite of the night's horror

Of what it can cause

Nightmares? Ghastly illusions?

Strange noises of things falling apart.

I might be afraid

But it might also be

The calling of the night

Where the sleepless

Stays awake.

This did make me shiver. I feel like this most nights. Its been years since I slept more than a few hours and you wrote how it feels to me chillingly accurately, as well as wonderfully, as always.
