Sleep


I watch you sleep

You look so peaceful

Lying there fast asleep

But you begin to toss and turn

And shout for help

Did you need my help?

Was it a night mere?

Should I have woken you?

Are all things I ask myself

But then the shouting stops

And your back to looking peaceful

Fast Asleep
