Insomnia

The clock eagerly ticks beside her,
the darkness of surrounds her,
sleep so close,
but so far away,
eyes blaze with fatigue,
her body temperature bounces from a cool to scorching hot,
want to sleep to dream but nothing enables her,
she passes out after many hours,
exhausted thinking and trying to sleep,
she wakes up groggy still weary,
she dreads the nightly ritual,
within weeks fatigue has taken an unbearable toll on her,
she tries pills but they don't help,
one day for some reason she naturally sleeps,
she believes the insomnia was just a curse,
what broken it may never be known,
sleep her new friend,
dreams her new reality,
