SLEEP HAS BETRAYED ME

BETRAYED BY SLEEP
Sleep, Sleep, you've betrayed my weary eyes
And you made my heart not to trust time even in the darkest of hours
Who can lend me their sight?
Who can sell me their peaceful slumber?
I'm exhausted from witnessing
the tireless industrious mosquitoes
flapping their wings like a roaring lion
salivating before its prey
It's 5:32 a.m yet I am still doubtful of
my ability to conquer this wakeful night.
