As I Sleep
When i close my eyes in my bed
another night i dream with dred
i remember that icy cold stare
so empty and hollow that's all that's there
I can feel my heart racing as you walk near
i tremble with fear
The smell of liquor and ciggerettes on your skin
whisky ,vodka,rum and lets not forget gin
I ask over and over what did i do
because i truly don't have a clue
Walking backwards, i am againts the wall
my head jerks hard my face on fire
the next ones just a little higher
I hear my hair being ripped from my head
the way you think i should be led
Throwing my down like an old rag doll
screaming for help,no one can hear me call
Gasping for breath, gasping for hair
i see your face that dosen't care
Grasping at your hands trying to push you away
i begin to black out ,i begin to sway
As i wake screaming please stop hurting me
but you don't listen to my plea
Walking away i hear you say , by the way Happy Valentines Day
I jump up all soaking wet
completely drenched in sweat
Nights are so long when your afraid to sleep
a tear trickles down as i weep...........
