Sleep's Ballad

Uh it's late and I'm really sleep deprived. Hope you enjoy

Sleep's ballad

Sleep, my blissful faithful friend

Your always there for me at a long days end

Always there for me after the last moan   (XD dirty joke)

But make sure to respect my time alone

Ever day's a holiday when you give me a thoughtful gift

Some energy and anti-gravity to give my head a lift

If you ever withheld your present, my head would be a pheasant and fly away before crashing down into the blue

I'd probably just sit and lean whilst all the while dreaming sweet thoughts of you

And the dreams I dream are just as fantastical as any book you could imagine

With I the knight and you the princess sitting beyond the dragon

So I raise my sword and unload a yell fighting until my last breath

Till blood coats the ground, stray limbs lie around, and only you and I are left 

But the truth is sometimes we fight rough and bitterly compete

Neither you or I are awake enough give in and admit defeat

So we tough it out grim and dark watching the shadows grow long

But in the end our sacred bond is mended with just a song

So I give this ballad as my only token of thanks for staying with me all the while

Because of you, I live my day through, before giving the ceiling a smile
