What Do You Do?

What do you do when the night's so deep and the light's so dark and the silence so quiet that you can hear the beating of your heart as it thumps so hard that you can feel it in your throat? While the city has gone to bed and everybody sleeps but you, what do you do? When your eyes won't close and the thoughts won't stop when they should because it's late and it's dark and it's night and it's time to sleep but you can't, what do you do? Turning first one way then the other, flipping off the covers because you're hot and then pulling them back because of the cold night air, what do you do? You should be tired, but you're not, but you are, so just what on earth do you do?
