...Must I sleep now, for the dreams will return...

Light, or the absence of
Seeps into this house
It calls my body
My mind, to rest
I cannot deny the temptation
Slinking into nothing
Yet only slumber can provide
And yet it only denies me
Do I close my eyes and dream
...Nightmares, again
Torn between exhaustion and
the calming effect I can create
only while awake
Sighing, I close my eyes
and pray for nothing,
no dreams
no nightmares
anxious for the light
yet hating it's torturous rays
