closed eyes, yet as long as i sleep
rest will not be found tonight
wondering now if ill ever find a lapse in time
for everything to shut down, reboot, recharge
the tear wells in my eyes to refill
the battery powered heart to be replaced
i sleep damn near every night yet
ive still been awake for over a decade
wearily i grasp for more than a nap
a night of real sleep
a night to refresh
a night for my soul
