Sleep
The hours tick by, dont know when, dont know why
But sleep will come
I know it eludes me. Lies hidden in the darkness
I go to the darkness to find it, but its not there.
Oh wait. Yes it is. Its over there.
No. No it isn't.
Ok. Now Im getting a little pissed.
COME BACK SLEEP! Your severely missed.
It seems here lately we only get minutes, not hours
What happened to the love that was ours
We used to be so close. Spend all day together
Now your never around. No matter the weather.
Rain. Sleet. Snow. Hurricanes. Tornadoes. Blizzards.
Am I in Oz and your the effing wizard.
Well heres clicking the heels and implying the need.
Come back sleep. I beg and I plead.
But your nowhere to be found. You don't answer my cry.
What have I done to make you treat me this way. WHY?
Did I abuse, overuse, not utilize you or criticize you
Because if I did. Im sorry. I dont despise you.
I love you. I need you. I tearing apart at the seams
(alarm goes off) Wow. I have some weird dreams.
One Love
