Sweet Sympathetic Sleep

Sweet sympathetic sleep, she will hold me while I weep. To no one else she speaks, in her arms I go weak. She whispers in my ear and tells me things I wish to hear. Temptation always lurks, and existing always hurts. When my final dawn breaks, when the pain leaves me awake, sweet sympathetic sleep will wait.
