poem about the consequences of drinking caramel coffee before bedtime. |
| Sleepless nights, I suffer through them Fatigued and almost out of wit My body begs the night's reprieve My droopy eyes call for the dark Yet consciousness demands I wake With all my cluttered thoughts afloat The flesh is weakened, tired, sore The mind is up and raring still So great is the need for rest Tomorrow's sun, a daunting light Whilst here I lie frustrated With dreams just barely out of reach Let me have this little death A few hours worth of sweet neglect With no worries, pains or fears Only temporary lifelessness Sing a lullabye so slow and soft My head onto the pillow rests The rest of me just follows down Slowly drowning in the clouds Oh! mercy comes at last, thank God The sandman comes to grant my wish Thankful, tired orbs shut tight As I depart from this chaotic world |
