Empty Nights

Wishing for bed, yet afraid of the night
Enjoying the peace, but leave on the light
Eyes are heavy and sleep is near 
This brings with it endless fear
Eventually tiredness takes what it can
I fall into dreams of far away lands
Without control my mind plays free
Leaving my conscious painful debris
Nightmares aren't always ghouls and ghosts
I wish it was these that I dread the most.
