Oh slumber, carry me in your arms of peaceful oblivion as you sing lullabies of better days.
Wrap me in a warm hug, your hypnotic wisteria scent lulling me to bed.
Slowing my breathing, my heart with it.

Without you, there would be no escape for me from this endless maze
as i slowly lose myself in the thorns of this tangled garden.

Oh sleep, a mischievous bunch you are gifting me dreams as sweet and light as cotton candy clouds one day and Nightmares as bitter and sour as lemons the next.
If only i could be held by you forever, encased in a cradle of chrysanthemums Trapped inside the archives of my happy memories.
