The nights have all of a sudden become uneasy, like the unnerving anticipation before a désastre. My mind has been pacing, back and forth without rest. I don't want to sleep. My dreams are timorous. It has been a very long while since I had bad dreams. I hadn't noticed until now.

 

I try to find a distraction, in my mind. To create a sort of imaginary scenario to craddle myself to peace. I can't find anything. I tried to imagine your face countlessly, and while I can still see it, it doesn't lull me to sleep.

 

My eyes get weary, I feel a throbbing pain in my temples. Yet my mind struggles not to drift. How can I  worry so much without knowing the cause?
