Mind tricks

When I am so very tired
And I've stayed up far too long
My mind plays tricks on me
I see things that aren't there

A mouse scurries across a counter
Mosquitoes dart this way and that
Roaches run on the floor
Ants scattered on a wall

Your body warm against mine
Arm pulling me closer to you
Kindness in your words
Affection in your touch
