Insomnia

This one's for my wife. As soon as she said the word, the first two lines popped right into my head and the rest of it fell right into place. Thanks, honey! I hope you sleep well tonight.

I can’t relax, and so I pray

Now I lay me down to sleep

So many thoughts get in my way

Of life and death, so dark and deep

Music sometimes soothes the mind

Not when I outlast it though

I check the clock only to find

Another endless night to go
