In my dreams, I have failed you
time and again.
Whatever you ask of me,
I am unable to perform appropriately.
I seem to be able to do nothing right.
It’s really rotten how I’ve treated you
in my imagination.
None of this is intentional.
If there was a way to serve you better
I would love to find it.
Perhaps a solution will come
if for five minutes more
you allow me to sleep.
