Self Inflicted Insomnia

I didn't sleep well
Woke up at least 10 times over the course of the night
Once I finally got to sleep
Too much thinking before bed
It was the walk home at midnight that started it
Just drunk enough to be oblivious to my surroundings
But not drunk to the point where coherent thought was an impossibility
Dissecting conversations
Comments
Gestures
Greetings & goodbyes
What did I say?
Did I offend anyone?
Say something stupid?
Will I have to apologize to someone tomorrow?
Explain my actions?
Analyzing each moment
And then second-guessing each decision

Before I know it it's two in the morning
I'm on a couch staring at the clock
Wondering how long I've been lying here
Wondering if I've slept at all
