Voices inthe Dark

Middle of the night,
my friend,
wakes me up.
shakes me up;
up from my sleep.

His face, frightned.
A voice!!
He was going crazy.
And asked me
to stay awake,
And be with him!

Through the night,
a sleepless night,
I stayed awake;
And he fell asleep,
like a child!
I, waited for the voice,
In vein,

Next morning,
he thanks me,
for being awake
And..
Not snoring!!
