Sleep Until

My most dear desire
to sleep to the end.
Nap, but not wake,
til the end.
I'm disappointed that I can't sleep.
Would rather not get up until this is all over.
But eyes open. And I try
to think about something,
something to catch my energy,
energy enough to do something while awake.
Everything I think of is not worth waking up.
Except ice cream, so I'm gaining weight.
