Sleep Demon

The sleep demon stole my dreams
last night
Because Hell needed some new horror flicks

Caffeine and nicotine teases
with useless energy so early in the morning
Creeping around the dark house
Waiting for the sun to wake the world

Rehashing last night's robbery
Alone with hell fire scorched nerves
Finally the blue sky edges out the night
Pushing all the sleep demons back to hell
Where they sit all day...at the matinee
