There’s only so long

Till I’ll go to sleep

Way before you do, way before you wake.

That last exchange be ere daylight.

Remember it well—

Or not. Better as not.

It’s best you forget, mayhap,

All that could be memorized

I’m just an empty space that

fills your head too heavily.

Be rid of my presence. It’s best

that I go to sleep

way before you do, way before you wake.
