The Call of Sleep

It pulls me in with its sweet caress
Lulling me softly, begging me to rest

I want to succumb; it knows just what I need
It calls to me like a lover, no end to its greed

Whispering gently into my ear
Secrets and lies are all I can hear

It beckons to me, it will not be denied
An overwhelming sensation I cannot abide

I try to resist, I cannot go there yet
But it wants me - and I really want it

It begins slowly, my eyes begin to close

impose

My body releases, as I finally let go
I begin to drift, this fight is over, I know
