Sleeping Away - Bruce V. Bracken's All-Purpose Poetry Thing

Shelly, you're silent and unseen today
Are you sleeping your life away?

Irma's called on the phone
No answer
Ray's waited for your call
No answer

Shelly, you're silent and unseen today
Are you sleeping your life away?

Ray gave me a ride home
She's worried
I dropped my pack and ran
I'm worried

Shelly, you're silent and unseen today
Are you sleeping your life away?

I get there and see lights
Cross my heart
Door's open, cops stand by
Cross my heart

Am I praying for your body, or your soul?

Shelly, you're silent and unseen today
Are you sleeping your life away?
