Sleep

short and sweet poem about lack of sleep

angels of the silences

Pull the river to my chest

Wash away this midnight around me 

and lay me down to rest

Black my eyes so I can't see

Take my breath so I can't breathe

Break my bones so I can't move

Take my mind so I can't think

Just let me sink 

inside this endless sand

Let me fall away and back again

make my dreams seem seamless 

And my nights so short 

Make my soul worthy for you to keep

Oh please just let me sleep
