Sleepy Time

Eyes as heavy as a rock,
just sitting here I watch the clock.
I pray for sleep,
For what it used to be.
When I would get more hrs than 3.
the exhausted look,
Doesn't suit me well.
My makeup smears,
And I cry like hell.
I tell myself this too will pass,
And will be memories in a looking glass.
But until that time,
Here I sit.
As cranky as a two year old fit.
so I wish I may I wish I might,
Just maybe get some sleep tonight.
Because if its anything under two,
I don't think another coffee pot will do.
he'll come home to world war 3,
And take over the kids,
So I sleep peacefully.
