sleep well
good night
time to turn off the lights
and fall asleep
as best you can
even though it's hard
no falling stars
no sign of ghosts
trouble brewing coast to coast
it's too damn hard to understand
the sounds in your backyard
lie awake
dead of night
eyes not adjusted to lack of light
static buzzing
in your brain
there is no getting up
no one beside you
the night is hot
you're approaching restlessness
until you're not
you lie there in a pool of sweat
until you've had enough
good morning
it's now 3 a,m,
not as good
as it was back then
when breezes blew outside
this sleepless night
is your time to hide
get up
out of bed
hours till the day ahead
nothing to do in this darkened scene
except turn on the TV
turn off your thoughts
watch reruns
the following day
has now begun
might as well stay up now
sleep is a mystery
good morning
it's now 3 a,m,
not as good
as it was back then
when breezes blew outside
this sleepless night
is your time to hide
