Silent Sleep

i once dreamed of happiness of rainbows and true love that was many years ago now all i dream is sadness silent sleep as time drags on nightmare thoughts fill my brain scaring even hero's and the brave left to wonder what lyes beyond closed my heart to the pain sorrow and disappointment now will fill my heart and what is left is nothing to gain sleepless night the dreadful dreams are in full flow tired eyes begin to close no way to stop until it's light tick ,tick , tick chimes the clock constant sound fills the house yet it is not enough to keep it at bay so i sit and stare at closed locks when will the wait be finally be over how will i keep the nightmares away where have my dreamless sleeps gone i need the luck of a four leave clover i keep myself busy when there asleep tidying and cleaning is the way just to keep the nightmares at bay to tired to even sit and weep i need the help of others at hand support, someone to fall back on but who is there to call who will even understand tired tears begin to fall who is there to hear my despair is lost in the air no ones there at all morning breaks through the sky bleary eyed yet fall of joy dragged about through the rest of the day time goes quickly before it is nigh
