Bring me down
into sleep.
I need it now
so drag me deep.
I'm ready for
the dreams it'll bring.
I need to hear
its soft voice sing.
I need to feel
forgetfulness
within my mind
of uselessness.
Let it take me
forever more.
Let it cure
these aching sores.
Let me stay
within its waves
and feel its urgent,
violent craves.
I need to leave
this world tonight
and slip into
this sleep of mine.
Let me hope.
Let me dream.
All I ask is
let me sleep.
