The Poetry Book

Sleep

Oh how the days have become so long

How much time has passed, I truly don't know

But I can't stop listening to that same sad song

And it never stops raining, roads and eyes overflowed

I embrace the night, with its shadowy hands

For what it offers me is a slice of remembrance

Sometimes I return to the relaxing beach sand

But no matter where it is, I sense your presence

Concealed you are, as you hide your face

Making your life known only through gentle touch

I want it to last forever, I stay in place

But I feel the day coming, pulling me away as I desperately clutch

My thoughts are empty, no place to go

Oh sleep why must you leave me so?
