Slumber

Peacefully dreaming
Away from this dark portal
of reality

Sleep
a desperate escape
from this unkind world
we know so well

Darkness takes me
I fall away
into a peaceful slumber
quietly.

Sleep

Slumber takes me to a foreign place
Where dreams are scarce
and in my mind
it awaits

It waits for my eyes to slowly drop
It waits for me to relax
and in my mind
it awaits

It waits for me to give way to darkness
It waits for me to welcome it in,
and in my mind
it awaits

Sleep finally sets in,
It has awaited
and I have given in.
I have given in.
