Rumi ~ Sometimes I forget Completely and Insomia

Some times I forget Completely
What companionship is.
Unconscious and insane, I spill sad
energy everywhere. My story
gets told in various ways: a romance,
a dirty joke, a war, a vacancy.

Divide up my forgetfulness to any number,
it will go around.
These dark suggestions that I follow,
are they part of some plan?
Friends, be careful. Don't come near me
our of curiosity, or sympathy.

When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.

Praise God for these two insomnias!
And the difference between them.

: / I'll pay more attention, sorry. The way they are presented in the collection they seem related and might have been spoken one after the other. Who knows. They aren't even listed with titles in "The Essentials of Rumi"

& "ouT* of curiosity"

The way the poems are written in the description makes it appear as if 2 are 1. I think you should distinguish between them.
