People constantly desire

The never ending

Need for sleep

 

But as soon as they

Shut their eyes

And drift into the slumber

 

The dreams begin to

Haunt them terribly

Shaking them into fear

 

And as the dreams

Taunt them constantly

They wish,

 

Oh, how they wish

To open their

Weary eyes

 

Escape from the slumber

That leaves them

Wandering, restlessly like Cain

 

And to be awake

Once more, but

Their eyes are

 

Sown shut by the 

Demons who lie awake

And seduce them to the sleep
