Heavy Eyes

Worn

They -- fall

Slowing down sight

I draw closer and closer

Then --

Flutter to stay awake and realize I'm not ready for this

I'm not yet able to enter that dark place of meditation

-- But

I feel it coming more swiftly

My heavy eyes falling

With every

Last shutter

Closer

Closer

No -- yes

Sleep.
