Let Me Sleep

  Let me sleep
Oh, let me rest in peace
Let me sink deep into
This temporary oblivion
A temporary respite
From the raven whose wings
Beat confusion in my head
From the worm of anxiety
Gnawing at my heart-roots
I want, I need
Something other than this
This grey pouring down
Seeping into my eyes
Oh, give me this little death
So I can forget the world
If only for a heartbeat
In the passage of time
