Sleep

Why do you elude me? For hours, I sit and wait for you to come but you never show. I prepare myself for you every night and I lay here waiting. Waiting for you to come and put me at ease. Put my soul to rest. Waiting for you, the perfect end to any day. But you never seem to come when I want you to. You never come when you're supposed to. I wait 3-4 hours for your arrival. Doing everything in my power to get my mind off your delayed arrival. Nothing I do seems to make the time go by faster. My last resort is always turning off the lights and waiting. Waiting, in dark silence for you to make your appearance. Waiting so long, I don't even notice your arrival. Waiting so long, I've lost track of time. Waiting so long, I lose touch with my surroundings and you are able to creep up on me. Waiting so long, I finally catch you. I finally get my sleep
