Time To Sleep
Time to sleep.
Leave the lights on.
Afraid of the thoughts
you hide under your bed.
Doing your best
to keep them contained
in the light of day.
But in the dark
they slip out from under
and find their way
back in again.
You can see them
Peeking out from under
your covers.
Just watching
and waiting until its
Time to sleep.
