Sleeplessness
She can't sleep at night
She lays awake in bed
Trying to slow things down in her head
She tosses and turns
kicking her bed
She looks out of the window
Sees shadows dancing around
As her mind wanders
She remembers the days she could sleep
She had a man to keep
Now all she feels is defeat
She tells herself not to weep
In time God will send her a man to keep
Now if she would only go to sleep
She lays awake in bed
Trying to slow things down in her head
She tosses and turns
kicking her bed
She looks out of the window
Sees shadows dancing around
As her mind wanders
She remembers the days she could sleep
She had a man to keep
Now all she feels is defeat
She tells herself not to weep
In time God will send her a man to keep
Now if she would only go to sleep

Insomnia is a very frustrating condition
I hope it's only temporary and that
You'll be back on track real soon.
Best wishes....Mick.
