To Sleep the Sleep That Sleeps


A desire so strongly desired

A feeling recognized yet unknown

the purity of it has left my being 

it's all I have ever wanted to know 

 

It's not as simple as one believes 

its something so underappreciated

the complexity of it is overrated

yet I don't understand how to submit

 

I never wanted, needed, desired something more

I want to fall so deep 

It'll soon be able to take over 

and I'll sleep the sleep that sleeps
