I did not sleep
Well yesternight.
Weary were my eyes.
Guilt taunted me
Until the morning,
And called me
A disappointment.
I did not sleep
Well yesternight.
I could not comfort
You in your state of fear.
I am sorry.

I did not sleep
Well yesternight.
Weary were my eyes.
Guilt taunted me
Until the morning,
And called me
A disappointment.
I did not sleep
Well yesternight.
I could not comfort
You in your state of fear.
I am sorry.
