A Night for My Soul

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
