I Sleep More Now

I sleep more now Depression sets in Misunderstood until I stood before your ashes A room full of people, lifeless due to your absence I sleep more now With hopes, prayers, and dreams that we will meet again Anxious to see your smile once more Oh, how you lit up a room A smile like no other A smile that made others feel warm inside Now my sorrow and sadness is something I hide I shield my feelings from the world around me There was no other bond like ours Unexplainable, unbreakable, and never understood by others. I sleep more now To see your face once more I take the chance to close my eyes night after night and receive no sign. I continue to sleep in hopes to catch one more glimpse of you You lit up my life more than I think you knew Your absence is something I must get used to
