Put me to sleep!

Put me to sleep one day, some day
When I don’t wake up abruptly at night,
Panting, drenched in sweat,
Gasping for that goddamn breath.

Put me to sleep one day, some day,
When the moon is glowing bright
And I don’t fear next morning’s light.

Put me to sleep one day, some day,
Oil my hair, or massage my back,
Rub shoulders or put my head on your lap,
Light those scented candles, or do whatever you feel like.

Put me to sleep one day, some day,
When there are no deadlines to meet,
And no reasons to silently weep.

Put me to sleep one day, some day,
As a gift,
As my last wish,
As whatever you think you could give,
But put me to sleep, please?
