Tired

And the days are so, so long
And the nights just may be
Longer
Because the thoughts are strong,
So strong, in just that way
They make days longer,
Processing
Things we thought 
Could never be
And yet here we
Are.

But sleep, just sleep, my love,
Though we are too tired,
And yearn for days
When we can rest, we know
That we are not meant for it

For the dreams that bring
No relief;
And yet the fight
We fight 
Is better.
Longer.
Stronger
Than what we knew;
We sleep
Together.
