The Nightly Hunt
Every night I stalk and chase you like a hunter. You always play hard to get. I curse, plead, cajole, bargain, negotiate and beg. You eventually give in and I finally wrap my arms around you. But it’s like sex without any pleasure. And you don’t even spend a full 8 hours with me. I hate you for that. You make the nights even lonelier than it needs to be.
Did I piss you off in a previous life? Did I spurn you? Can we make peace? Why must you torment me?
I just want to sleep.

It must be stressful. Maybe you go to the gym to get real tired or invite J to sing lullaby?
I think the gym will be a good idea. There’s no way J will sing me a lullaby.
that you are again.
Can you hear me laughing? I love it. You are telling me my story of insomnia.
Yes, I thought I heard you chuckled as I wrote this. My brain just doesn’t want to sleep at night.
oh geez, it hasn’t gotten any better, huh? HUGS. i too have a friend in singapore who only gets few hours of sleep, if any. she practically fainted for a bit yesterday. must be a combo of physical exhaustion and thinking too much.
No it hasn’t gotten any better. I take meds, read, melatonin, stretch and trying to meditate. I just worry about a lot of things.
I read this and thought you were talking about a cat. lol
Noo…. if I had a cat, it would probably sleep before I would.
