Sleepless

Those sleepless nights
Darkness enclosing like
A blanket you pull around
To block out the cold
That's when the mind
Goes to work and runs
A hamster on its wheel
That's when everything
All you've done and said
Hangs around and waits
Waits for you to say hi
It only wants one thing
An acknowledgement
To admit to it and also
To admit within yourself
All the right and wrong
Both sides of the coin
Flipped and rolled
Landing where chance
Allows it to rest
Regretting nothing
But without fail wondering
Could I have done
Anything different at all
Changed an outcome
As easily as turning
A lamp on and bringing light
