Sleep

Dreams I miss for I cant sleep Tales of Cinderella in my heart beats Insane I find my mind become As I long for sleep but it has turned its gun I lay beckoning and I call Please embrace my mind for I fall I see my reflection on the ceiling staring back But it has a smile of a cunning laugh track IT keeps me awake as I stare at myself I lay down a plan to end its life and that smile I shut my eyes to pretend that sleep has a grasp On my soul and is finally letting me rest My reflections smile turned straight as he sees That sleep has finally got my disease His interest in awaking me gets his best As he climbs from the roof and enters my chest As I feel his presense near me I smile And embrace his neck with my hands a long while And I squeeze and feel his air choke inside He turns blue and asks me to stop or he'll die But my laughter of insanity cant control my desire To end his stupid smile as it keeps me awake His eyes glaze over as the blue turns to gray Coldness bleeds through my heart like a dying snowflake He is dead, I killed the reason I cant sleep with hate I will now be able to get my rest that he stopped So I close my eyes and wait for the call Of the goddess of sleep as I feel her do fall On my lap as she smiles and embraces my eyes They now turn gray like my shadow she says "you despise" As I feel her hands squeeze so tight in my throat I beg her to stop but I cant speak just choke I feel my body turn colder than hers As I know my fate will end up like the smilers Her soul less feel I know it to well She never let me in her evergreen dwell As I lay dead in her cold bare chest At least I will get a full nights rest Live by the sword die by the sword
