Dark Promises...

I promise you a lack of sleep,

No permission to be tired.

Anxiety after we meet,

The worry keeps you wired.

The quietness, while the house

rests,

But your thoughts have all arrived.

The daily tasks, obstacles and tests,

That keep you sleep deprived.

I promise you, only the moon,

Is what the darkness said.

You try to leave me way too soon,

How dare you go to bed.

And every promise darkness made,

Has finally come to light,

The sun shines through my window pane,

But we'll meet again tonight.
