The Midnight Train.

the train whistle blows

in the dead of the night

it is only heard by those

who have failed at their plight

sleep will not come

and rest will not prevail

their minds will not go blank

and are distracted by the wail

they cover their heads

with their useless pillows

they try to drown out the sound

but nothing can stop the trains bellows

the noise finally subsides

and the pillows are removed

they let out a sigh

of frustration in the room

sleep finally overcomes

and takes them away

but only to some

for others are still wide awake

they give up on trying

because sleep is still denying

just when they feel like they're flying

a noise comes thats petrifying

the train whistle blows

in the dead of the night

it is only heard by those

who have failed at their plight
