Hungry

Nights

Awake

Eyelids

Tired eyelids
Begging to fall asleep
Pleading to stay awake

Sleep red

Burning eyes

Stinging red

I’m wide awake

Can’t go to bed

Sing me a song

Cuddle me tight

I need some snuggling

Some kisses if you might

My bed’s empty

So am I

I don’t want to sleep alone

I cry
