Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame

WHEN SLEEP DON’T COME EASY

When sleep don’t come easy
And counting sheep till dawn
Won’t seem to cut it for me
All I’ll do is yawn and yawn

Guess I’ll try an old movie
The classic black and white
From ‘Bogie to the mystery
Watched a couple all night

Maybe read a tale or story
Of the Sacketts or Catlow
Following travels of bravery
Kept senses awake although

Probably just close my eyes
Breathing in and out slowly
Allowing drowsiness’ disguise
To send me sleeping wholly
