Sleep evades me this night
Tauntingly it stays
Just out of reach;
On the tips of my eyelashes.
Tauntingly, it stays
In the heaviness of my eyelids,
On the tips of my eyelashes;
Tempting me further .
In the heaviness of my eyelids
I see strange shapes in shadows
Tempting me further;
Twisting thoughts.
I see strange shapes, in shadows
Stretching long and thin,
Twisting thoughts
And failing to let reality in,
Stretching long and thin.
Cool winds creep onto my skin.
And failing to let reality in
Are the fanciful fantasies so deeply embedded
Cool winds creep onto my skin
Ruffling my hair.
Are the fanciful fantasies so deeply embedded
Into my naked flesh?
Ruffling my hair
Pale fingers trace patterns
Into my naked flesh;
The discomfort fades.
Pale fingers trace patterns;
Sleep evades me this night.
The discomfort fades,
Just out of reach.
