musing_way Prompt 55 -- "And Miles To Go Before I Sleep ..." Robert Frost

[tranquilmirror]

I sometimes feel like that – like I have so many more things I need to accomplish before I can try to rest. I try to keep busy, but sometimes it’s not enough and I just feel so damn tired. I sleep every night, but I know I don’t get very much rest during that sleep. I have dreams and I see too much of Damon when I sleep. I try not to think about him. I try to put all of what happened behind me, but it’s almost impossible. No one can seem to understand why the actions of Damon and Stefan shattered something within my twin and I. I know that our friends back home tried to understand and tried to help us through whatever we were feeling, but they didn’t really get why it caused such deep wounds. I wish I had the words to explain because when we can’t explain it, then we appear to have started going insane. Yet, I know that Katherine and I are not crazy. If we were crazy, then everything wouldn’t hurt as much as it does. I’ve heard that insanity is caused by the desire to seek comfort when your reality gets too much to handle. The pain is too sharp and too real for us to have lost our minds, and I know that there will be a lot more nights of restless dreams and tears over nightmares before either of us gets to get any real sleep at all.
