My eyes are almost half asleep
The rest of me is much the same
I wish that I could somehow keep
Awake, but I will lose that game
I'll droop and then my eyes will close
And I will slumber deep and true
Already I can feel the doze
Begin to seep far down into
The cracks between my brain and spine
And nestle deeply in my limbs
Where, as I stretch myself supine
My sense of the sensation dims
And so I slip and slowly dive
Into sleep - I'm half alive.
