Sleep

My soul feels lost and empty Just need to go to sleep Try to hold this heart together The one without a beat Empty on the inside And bleeding on the out Sometimes I wonder If I will ever figure it out Where my life is going And where it’s ever been It’s even hard it know If this soul can ever mend An empty shell of a person Walking around in a daze Can someone help me find A warm and safe escape I tried it once before But it wasn’t even real This time I thought forever Would help my heart to heal So I’m going back to sleep I think it’s safer there Peaceful empty heart Sleeping in despair
