Thus spake Insomnia

Why fret about the floating things called people?
Asked insomnia, my undeterred friend,
Unlike them who go as they please,
Haven’t I shown I can stay with you to the end?

You embrace them, and lo! you brace for me,
In joy, sorrow, anger or if for someone you long,
I am the one that you end up embracing,
Why not do that forever, forever to me why can’t you belong,

Embrace me, so you have to embrace none other,
And about me and none else, you need to think,
And about me there isn’t much to worry,
I won’t leave like them in the time it takes to blink,

Dear, think, think with all the cells in your brain,
If, you’ve slept better when it’s me you’ve embraced,
If, I’ve, unlike them all, been by your side and come back,
When by their coming and going, time and again, you’ve been dazed,

Go tell them my dear, I need to sleep in peace,
For that, I need only my insomnia, now and forever,
Thank them, those people things, for all that they’ve done,
Tell them you loved them, not anymore, henceforth never.
