counting sheep
#WritcoPoemPrompt82
At night when I lay in bed,
As I drift towards my sleep,
When the eve becomes shadowy red,
My slumber has begun deep,
This is when they fill my head
With that of evil instead of sheep
My body shaking with so much dread
Scared for my life I start to weep
Feeding from the fear I shed
Eyes closed tightly and not making a peep
I hear them whisper about wanting me dead
For its my soul they want to keep
To torture it and rip it to shreds
Oh the pleasures my soul could reap
My life now held by just a thread
Wishing I never fell asleep
All a sudden a see a light spread
Is that the glorious sun making it's sweep
Across my room as the darkness fled
Now I can finally get some sleep
