She and Sleep

When the heart was the pillow
Was when I knew I lost the bed
Eyes closed,while sitting on that 
window
No sleeping-with the heart that 
bled

The mind always goes on a 
funeral 
I kept the memories of us 
under the pillow-case
Your reflection from the moon, 
stands so admiral   
As I pretend to be asleep, while 
lost in the maze

That separates the mind from 
the brain
She's more than just an option, 
just being too deep
She won't embrace the loveless 
body, until after the rain
When you love someone,it's 
when you lost sleep.
