David Kendrick Poet Rhyme

To Sleep

I just want to sleep
the pain of losing her has crept into the dark corners of my mind
the ache in my heart is constant, relentless and so very well defined
just to sleep
escape into its darkness, hide behind its cloak and veil
where nothing at all can penetrate and to her I can no longer fail
to sleep
sleep without dreaming so sorrow and torment can no longer stir
an end to the painful wakeful hours spent with so much missing of her
I want to sleep forever
I just want to sleep
