Defiant to sleep
I glance to the right
Red digital numbers
inform me that since
I last looked over
a slight time has passed,
only two leaden minutes.
One hour after midnight
four more to endure
until birds' serenade
permeates barren silence
coercing me to rise
from the bed--
which in I now lie
restlessly.
Anxiety spreads
through my twisted sheets
Placid dreams escape
my feverish eyes
fueling my agitation
removing my peace
to irretrievable
oblivion.
1:00 AM.
A disconsolate time
to reflect on the
solidarity of life.
1:00 AM.
A distressing time
birth of the realization
I am alone.
Author notes
I would've liked to throw in a little rhyme, but the contest was so enticing, I decided to enter it.
Any comments are appreciated

I think you have a great foundation, some slight tightening would have helped but still - nicely done.
