It came upon me
Too fast to see
It laughed at my innocence
And my anguished plea
It never seems quite right
Choosing to visit at night
Trying to resist you
With all of my might
At first so nice and so sweet
Waves of energy lapping at my feet
For I must run and I must escape
The taste of futures so bittersweet
Sometimes I want to scream
I am aware of how I seem
Please don’t lead me
To the extreme
My experience is wide and steep
Risk at this time tends to be deep
Bestow on me this wish I have
To rest, to slumber, to forever sleep
