You captured the feeling of being totally alone, when the whole world seems to sleep. Everyone around you is blissfully ignorant of your problem, and "the night drags on".

I feel like this a lot.

Good description. I especially like the image "head as cobwebby...". I know sleepnessness myself.

Does everyone have issues with insomnia? Seems to be a popular topic to write about. I know my own poem about insomnia seemed to be really popular. Anyway, this is nice. I especially like the 3rd to last stanza, the lines "Cold tarmac below frozen/In orange streetlight" especially. Just nice images, great language, good use of sound. Wonderful poem. Keep writing! :)

Whimsy and light. I like this, as everyone knows how it feels to be awake under the circumstances you described.

lol! your A/N. Ayee. Brilliant. Its 3:48 am right now and i am, indeed, suffering from a case of sleeplessness. I can relate to this more than I expected :) good job.

I like it, but I'll admitt I was pulled in by the fact that I just wrote a poem about my forced sleeplessness. It is cool to see two people take something similar and make it different.
