sleep💤

part 1💤

It's night time and sleep is on his way.
I stayed awake all day but night time can't keep him away.
He'll be here soon, oh how I wish I slept before he arrived. His here....
It's time to go to bed, close your eyes and cover your head.
It's time to turn off the light it's time to get rid of sight. 
I don't want to sleep or see the secrets that you keep.
I don't want to dream for I know there'll be grim.
No, not tonight, please not again.
You have to!! He shouts. His voice so cold and bitter.
Oh how it makes my skin crack and gitter.
Thought he was supposed to be good for me but I don't understand why his so dark tonight.
"SLEEP!!" he yells with great might.
I miss how warm and softly he embraced me that night, back when everything felt right.
I know his only trying to help but I can't take it I'd rather be by myself.
Overthinking, procrastinating, I could even pick a book from the shelf.
I know I need to sleep but no not right now, sleep broke his vow.
He promised to always be good to me, it wasn't even me back then it was "we".
Right now I'm afraid of the nightmares I might have, where's the sleep that I love?
He doesn't care when I cry, he doesn't even ask why.
He says that night time is for sleeping and darkness is his.
Please don't send me to bed I whisper and plead.
I'm afraid of the monsters that do no good deed.
Please hear my cry and stay awake with me just for a bit.
I won't tell that I stayed up, no one will call you weak, it will be our little secret.
Please don't let the darkness consume you like it did last night.
Tell me you love me, kiss me and don't turn off the light.
I'm scared of the bad dreams and the monster you become is frightening.
you don't even hear me bargaining.
It's like when the lights go off you don't see me, am I your nightmare?
Why don't you get it?? I don't want to sleep, why won't you care!!
My mind is in a race, get that sheep out my face!!
I yelled and now we're in for it.
if I just stayed calm for another minute.
His job is to get me to bed and his running out of time.
"Sleep!" He continues to shout.
But... I cry
"Sleep!" He cuts me short.
He doesn't care how I feel, it's like I'm not real.
The anger in his voice gives me the chills.
My heart's already broken, I'm so lost in my feels.
I lay my head down softly as tears stream down my face.
For I know tonight he will show me no grace.
I'm afraid his of voice, I have to sleep, I have no choice.
Tonight he wins. Yes, his won this battle.
And as I rest my head, he rests his case,
The night is for sleeping and darkness is his.
