My Sleep

My eyelids mourn the loss 

My body feels the absence, 

Come at once, I request

Let not my thoughts break free. 

I let my sleep wander fearlessly,

Rejoicing existing in my imagination 

It breathes, lives and runs around the world 

Staying up late; refusing to come to me.

I close my eyes

And see what my sleep offers me to show 

My thoughts crop up, 

Whispers of silent mind I hear, 

My sleep fools my eyes, 

Tricks my heart 

And deceives my mind. 

It wants to explore the world, 

Of how the world would seem if she was awake, 

She roamed everywhere in disguise, 

Made the world believe, 

Death was her grave. 

It does everything but refuses to show,

I shall sleep when my sleep feels sleepy,

Follow the tune of my desire to sleep,

Embrace my soul again, 

Stay with me at night, 

Because the sun will be on its way. 

With the silence, the sobs 

In between the days 

My sleep has slipped 

And it lost its way.
