Sleep

My eyelids droop
the floorboards creep
but still I cannot
find my dear sleep.
I'll stay up all night
just thinking of you
and wonder if really
to me you'll stay true.
I'll still have no peace
the bright sun comes out
and all of the shadows
they melt into doubt.
Though I still love you,
perhaps it is time
we have found our tree
and it's too tall to climb.
Forever and always
I'll remember you
and think back so fondly
of days spent with you.
My eyelids droop
my heart starts to weep
I long for the chance
to fall into sleep.
