Sleep oh sleep, where are thou?
My mind bedimmed by the unbearable
Agony you brought upon me because
Of your absent every night

The day is my only Friend, for the
Hours of the Night brought me no peace
That I so desired

The darkness of the night afflicts my heart
With its gloominess, The other Beautiful side
of life not revealing

I lost total control of my mind Endlessly
Thinking of the irrelevant

Out of desperation to be hypnotised
Forced me to swallow medical remedy,

But the state of my spiritual tranquility
Was no where in close proximity to the
Sleep I knew in my youth Days

I dread the nightingale Bird-whistles when
The night falls—the silent of mid-night
When the man next door not
Aware of the unspeakable state of
my misery

Deep sleep fell upon him, leaving his
Fatigue self in a state of bliss

When my head is down in the morning,
Burden by the blood that over flow to it
Every night

He walks pass me often strong and cheerful
For the health he derive from sleep
Showing me there is no hope for my dear
Life without the rest sleep award at night

One time perhaps in a leap-year when he
Is up to ease himself from the liquid
In his bladder and to heard the bitterness
Of my existence, he would shake his head
And misinterpret it for having too much
Goof time

Regarding me in such a way in the morning
I made up my mind to Disclose to him the
Emotional torture bottled up inside of me all
These years

However, the undue manifestation of wrinkles
On my face caused by lack of sleep that
Could testify my agony even to the enfant for
Sympathy, has failed to convince him

Very adamant, he is still envying me for the
Sound he heard that night
