As she lays in bed at night,

Blowing out the last light,

Darkness coming into sight,

Sleep.

Covers pulled up snuggling,

Cease to hear her struggling,

In the empty void frightening,

Sleep.

All there is, is black around,

Her desperate voice the only sound,

As her head starts to pound,

Sleep.

She cannot climb the wall,

Too afraid she'll fall,

And nobody can hear her call,

Sleep.

Some say dreamless,

Is better than the seamless,

Nightmares that plague the sleepless,

Sleep.

But it's really just the same,

Being trapped every night came,

And being only frightened and lame,

Sleep.

Even every night in bed,

She can't even escape her head,

Her heart is as heavy as lead,

Sleep.
