Hush

My brain ticks all night long Keeping me awake I wish it would grant me a repreive I crave the silence The slide into oblivion The dreams that guide me And the hope for a better tomorrow Instead there are thoughts Best left in the dark Hatred that knows no bounds And wounds that will not heal A past that haunts me And follows without rest I need a new dawn Without a sleepless night A dream of sweet peace Instead of pain and blight
