sleep

i don't know when i'll sleep.
I'm starting to think i should.
I share my bed so i'm afraid to weep.
I have no way to ease the pain of this defeat.
I feel there is nothing i can do today.
So if for a few i could get away.
For tomorrow will bring me further shame.
I'll be stripped of all my honor and waste away.
I want desperately to end the day.
But i worry how many hours i'll just lay.
If i'll manage to sleep before i'm met by the morning rays.
I can never think of anything to say.
try as i may.
I don't really see a way.
