The Sleepy Things

The sleepy things tempt me
The soft pillow whispers
Rest your head
Only for a bit
The sleepy things tempt me
The cool, clean sheets beckon
Slide inside
For ten minutes
The sleepy things tempt me
The cozy comforter begs in silence
Wrap yourself up
And drift away
But i cannot rest
I cannot sleep
I have a paper to write
And a promise to keep
But the sleepy things tempt me
I sigh and give in
I slip my pajama pants on
And pull back the covers
Slowly, i sink into my bed
My loving bed
I close my eyes
And i'm away
Because the sleepy things tempted me
And i gave in
