Sleep Aid

Through the dark of night,
you call to me.
Knowing that you
are there, I listen.
Call me not, call me not -
for you are the voice
of my doom.
Pray for the early sun -
it banishes all fears.
What one sees -
does not make it fearful.
Resist you, I must -
Need you, I do.
They let me sleep -
but at a cost.
