Night-Time Torture

Every night he went to bed Just like his mama taught him But, the nights had changed They filled with sensations Extreme emotions and experiences Some good and some were bad They all came for one reason To stop him from falling asleep His blessing came with the rising sun The warm yellow light filled his room And relaxed his mind So, like the vampires of olden days He slept the sleep of the dead Waiting for the sun to set Only then could he start his day
