My Pillow

When there's no one
Left to love me
When there's no one
Left to care
I'll close my eyes and lay
My head upon my pillow
Of despair.

My pillow full of nightmares
And a pain that cuts so deep
I'll close my eyes for one last
Time and sleep a dreamless
Sleep.

No more nightmares no more
Horrors that plague me through
The night
With one last sigh I'll close my
Eyes and clutch my pillow tight

And give my soul to God.
