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...........
