Sleep

Every night I lay awake

Wondering, waiting

"For what?" you may ask

For a life I can escape to

Sadly, it'll never happen

Because that other life is my dreams

And lately I can't fall asleep

Pills, heat, milk, massage

Hardly works, but when it does

It only lasted a few hours

By twelve I'm up and fully awake

Then again at three and four

Sleep is all I ask for
