Sleeping past midnight
When my thoughts come out to play
Waiting for daylight
Sabotaging myself like a parasite
The same thing happens everyday
Sleeping past midnight
Looking for things to write
But everything is grey
Waiting for daylight
Trying to treat myself right
But I can’t help but stay
Sleeping past midnight
By the dim lit candlelight
I sit and pray
Waiting for daylight
Same routine every night
What can I say?
Sleeping past midnight
Waiting for daylight
A Vilanelle
