the long night

troubled,
enmeshed in drama,
i couldn't sleep.
one, two,
three a.m. .
i rolled over, i moved
the pillows around.
i nudged the blinds
to look out
at the moons
half smile.
still i was far away
from sleep,
miles and miles
away from
dreams.
i knew
i had it coming
to me
for so many reasons,
but still i longed
to sleep.
