I feel my eyelids slack They flutter open then shut I feel my muscles relax a bit I feel the comforter against my skin Soft, downy full of fluff My head sinks into the pillow Cool, welcoming, soft I try to sleep, but it doesn't happen I didn't sleep last night Why not now? As my eyes drifter closer shut still They fight away the sleep Come now dear eyes, let me sleep, I need to be up later for so much more.
