3 am,
Lost the remembrance of
how to sleep
and the taste of
the once blissful dreams that
occur after your head has hit the sheets.
How to fall asleep?
When the night time fire of
all the bad things keep
the lids of your eyes from falling involuntary.
Not even the puddle
that your eyes now soak in
can save you from the heat.
What works to lay infants to sleep
should allow you some peace,
But quick breath and dark things
seem to never flee.
How to fall asleep?
When knowing despite breathing z's
they are only a short pause from
all the destruction that will be at your feet
when you reluctantly awake.
Eternal sleep seems to the be
only way to escape dreary reality.
How to fall asleep?
