Crave Sleep

The silence is deafening. 

No life. No movement. 

Unsettling.

Hear myself breathe.  In. Out.

Rhythmic. 

Darkness throughout.

No light. Shadows dance.

Unsettling.

The clock's hands move. Tick. Tick. 

Rhythmic.

Too tired to move.

Too tired. Crave sleep.

Weary.

Heart beats loudly. Lub dub

Rhythmic.

Eyes slowly shut.

Thoughts drift. Dreams begin.
Weary.

Breaths much deeper. Slow. Soft.

Rhythmic.

Asleep.
