I lay awake,
In the room,
Darkness surrounds,
Encasing,
Enclosing.

Trapped,
In the room,
No escape,
From the suffocation,
The darkness.

Light,
Shines at the end,
Of a long corridor,
Like a beacon,
Pointing me to sleep.

Walk towards,
The light,
I fall,
Falling,
Falling.

I slip,
Deeper,
And deeper,
Drifting
To sleep.

The light fades,
Immersed in pure shadows,
Now I am gone,
Gone, gone, gone
Gone.

The weary eyes,
Tired Arms,
Slowing breathes,
Waiting dreams,
Have taken over.

My dreams,
They wait,
For me,
I am,
Asleep
