Baby, I'm a thief. I will steal your sleep With a word, Enticing you to shed your blankets And walk the night with me Like a demonic Sandman And we'll do un-Hypnotic things And un-Morpheus things. Nyx would be proud. So scurry away little boy I will make you so sleep deprived, You won't even remember your name And I'll send you off in the morning With dark circles, Drooping eyelids, And to accidents lying in wait for you Beware of me, love. I will ruin your life As I steal your sleep. Please Forgive me, and goodnight.

Thieves and Sharks aren't so different, you see
Baby, I'm a thief. I will steal your sleep With a word, Enticing you to shed your blankets And walk the night with me Like a demonic Sandman And we'll do un-Hypnotic things And un-Morpheus things. Nyx would be proud. So scurry away little boy I will make you so sleep deprived, You won't even remember your name And I'll send you off in the morning With dark circles, Drooping eyelids, And to accidents lying in wait for you Beware of me, love. I will ruin your life As I steal your sleep. Please Forgive me, and goodnight.
A tribute to a poem written by a dear friend of mine. We all have nasty perceptions of ourselves to some degree. He thinks he's a shark, and I'm a sleep thief. http://hellopoetry.com/poem/432156/oh-it-hurts-to-be-this-good/
