Restless Sleep
RESTLESS SLEEP
nguish
On downy pillow his head lies
He’ll toss a bit and then relax
And when he wakes he’ll fight surprise--
nightmare dreams don't alter facts
She’s awake --her passion heats
On downy pillow his head lies
She reaches out and meets defeat--
These sleepless nights her sacrifice
In his dread dreams tormented cries
Fallen friends haunt every turn
On downy pillow his head lies--
Some secrets she will never learn
He is her darling, life’s glor'us glow --
For work he dons a smile's disguise
Tonight she'll kiss him head to toe--
On downy pillow his head lies
