A triolet for 3 a.m.
(and Gareth)

do not deny me, love, my rest
as night drapes over those who sleep
while in the empty space I nest
do not deny me, love, my rest
deny me of your rising chest  
on which my heavy head should weep                               
do not deny me, love, my rest
you've promises still new to keep
