I know you can hear me, listen for Christ's sake!

Your eyes are pleading--I'M pleading for you to just sleep!

Stop shining that light in your eyes, let them sleep, stop making them weep.

They're done. They're giving up, whether you like it or not.

You peck at that screen, endlessly typing nothing. Type, delete, repeat. Stay awake.

NO!! Stop it, knock it off! We're tired!

Just sleep already, your body has had enough!

I'm sorry, okay? I'm just sick of it all.

Put the phone down and sleep for once. Okay?

Don't give up on us like you have everyone else, just give us a rest.
