there’s a killer in my bed murderer of sleep he will not take his rest until he has slain all my dreams my own worst enemy stalks between my sheets darkness softens the edges of the world the universe expands my mind dilates too the day begins at midnight and I begin with it maybe I sleep when I’m not looking but I am looking now and I can’t sleep for thinking how many times have I written these words? how many ships have I knowingly scuppered? my oasis of calm is becoming a nightmare but I wander on enslaved by the night hold me close now bring me some comfort kiss both my eyes send me some sleep out in the dark there are people drowning their stars burn too bright to bring them any peace I’m pounding out words as if they were lifeboats god save our souls we’re in this too deep
