Longing for the night to take me away
To that place where my dreams stay
But lately the door is closed and I can't get in
Don't know where the key is, don't know where to begin.As I knock and knock, hoping my prayers will be answered
I become more aware, frustrated at the denial
Why has it shut me out now? There's no reason for this trial
Of my patience and mind, I feel I'm being left behind.So, night after night, am I to play this game
This cat and mouse chase, will surely drive me insane!
Longing, to drift away and float to the place I knew well
The dreamland, where my mind and body rest, content
Awakening in the morning feeling revived, rather than spent.Always praying for the night, to bring a beautiful day
I hope it isn't always, going to be this way
Struggling and fighting for rest, always riding the crest
Of the sleep wave but never quite crashing to the shore.
