Sleep oh sleep, where are thou now
My mind bedimmed with unbearable agony
you brought upon me because Of your
absent every night
I lost total control of my mind Endlessly
Thinking of the irrelevant,
I resolved to rest in eternal peace
At time, waiting no more for the rest
you renders
My spirit long for calmness, but wearisome
Nights allocated to me instead
The day is my only Friend
The Hours of the Night bring me no
rest I so desired
The darkness of the night afflicts my heart
with its gloominess,
The other Beautiful side of life not revealing
I dread the nightingale Bird-whistles when
the night falls—the silent of mid-night
The man next door do not realise the
unspeakable pain of my soul
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 derives 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 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 unconcealed 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
convey my emotional pain 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
