Restless slumber

Keeping me awake for hours

 

Time ticking away

Back and forth

Ticking

And

Tocking

 

Driving my brain mad

Keeping me laying there

Still as a corpse

 

 

 

Watching the hour hand

Move at the pace of paint drying

Holding on to my sanity

Or what’s lefted of it

 

 

 

Time of the night

It’s like a clock

Day and night

Refusing to let me slumber

 

 

 

 

Having nightmares

Fear of being killed in my sleep

Eaten alive by a zombie

Flood my sub-concision

 

 

 

You are my demon

My worthy foe

You keep me on my toes

For ever more you ungrateful whoe

 

 

 

You take me by night

You cause me suffering by day

Tweaking me daily

Crying for energy weekly

 

 

 

Mumblings about giants

Princes

Thieves

Elves

And little zombies monks

 

 

 

 

Slumber I beg you to come

Quickly and peacefully

Before the dawn seeks to kill the moon

Bring for once a slumber fit for a king

 

 

 

Mister Sand man bring me a dream

I just beg this night

Let me dream of sugar plums

And dancing fairies

 

 

I beg for slumber

And not for this

Insomnia

That has haunted me

And stalked me from a peaceful sleep.
