i cannot sleep

there is sleep tugging
at my eyelids

i can feel it when
it lies under my
eyes in the form of
bags,

i can feel it
when it is
stapled into the
inside of my eyelids
but i still cannot
seem to catch it

i can feel it when i
blink and can't open
my eyes out of
tiredness,
but i cannot keep
them closed because of the
Wicked hellfire that lays upon them
When i try,
So still, i cannot sleep

i cannot sleep
