The Sleeping Addict

The sleeping addict What sounds do I hear? Snores a far... Snores a near... Deep fast breaths wheezing A choke, a cough or too It sometimes sounds like they are just coming too I know it's just sleep, But what really is that? A moment of solace to get Their wits back? Now all is quiet, is peaceful at last But I guess not for long, only a moment has passed I don't want to move, Or barely breathe It might wake them up Make me a thief A robber of their slumber Their zen There closed eyes They must stay under to sort out their lives What are they dreaming? Who do they hear? Me being a thief, of their dreams or their fears I would like to sleep But I would rather hear The sleeping addict With nothing to fear
