First Edit: Dreamless

[Knot]

Hi Richard,
in answer to your question, yes I think you should merge this with Sleepless.
But I'd suggest taking a slightly different approach (flowerburgers observations
are to the point I think) - don't make this about 'him' but about 'you'.

Start with

I used to write my worries in notebooks,
words like "Autism" and "delayed"
poor rhyme choices.
But too many of my pens went dry
and were tossed aside...

and see where it takes you.

Both pieces seem rather timid, as if you don't want to confront the subject (yet).
A position with which I empathise.

Best, Knot.
