insomnia

I heard the footsteps, all too familiar and quickly shut my phone and screwed my eyes shut.
The darkness caved in and paranoia formed and in an instant I was scared.
Of course I knew monsters did not exist but that is not what I feared.
My eyes fluttered open once I realized she wouldn't check on me, after all she probably knew I wasn't asleep.
Distortions filled my mind and I bit my lip.
Trembling, yet I managed to pull my blanket up and hide from the foreign cold.
Digging my fingernails into my palm, my panic began to arise in me.
Soon my fear turned to nostalgia.
Thoughts of him caused my heart to yearn making me whimper and curl into a ball.
Why was it that my mind is more active now than any other time?
Sighing, I decided to switch on my phone again, seeing no new notifications.
Loneliness.
I knew i could not escape this fear for at this moment, I was truly alone.
