I can’t sleep, I can’t seem to close my eyes.
I can’t sleep. Oh’ how I wish I could just close my eyes for a moment. My days are my nights and my nights are my days. When I sleep I battle a continual fight with my dreams. I am haunted by dreams, never getting any peace. They ruffle my pillows and tickle my feet. They turn me round and round in my sheets. They twist my arms til there is nothing but numbness. They burn my eyes with such tiredness. Tonight a battle has begun and my nights again are winning this one. My eyes refuse to close and my body knows no time. Its late, oh’ its so late! How long is it going to last this time? I lay in bed and close my eyes, what feels like hours, only minutes have gone by. Is it my dreams that subconsciously tell my mind to stay awake? Do I fear What might happen and can I tell if its fake? I feel the realness of my dreams in my soul, I awake with a freight of death being so near. I can’t sleep, the time is ticking. My mind grows weak and my eyes a blur. Please help me sleep, I beg of you, I can take no more. The sun is rising and now is when I start to fall, theres a light shinning, now your haunting time is no more. I will take this chance to close my eyes, but again, my nights are my days and my days have slipped by. You’ve taken from me what normalcy I had and given me a life within the dead.
