Sleep
Dreams I miss for I cant sleep
Tales of Cinderella in my heart beats
Insane I find my mind become
As I long for sleep but it has turned its gun
I lay beckoning and I call
Please embrace my mind for I fall
I see my reflection on the ceiling staring back
But it has a smile of a cunning laugh track
IT keeps me awake as I stare at myself
I lay down a plan to end its life and that smile
I shut my eyes to pretend that sleep has a grasp
On my soul and is finally letting me rest
My reflections smile turned straight as he sees
That sleep has finally got my disease
His interest in awaking me gets his best
As he climbs from the roof and enters my chest
As I feel his presense near me I smile
And embrace his neck with my hands a long while
And I squeeze and feel his air choke inside
He turns blue and asks me to stop or he'll die
But my laughter of insanity cant control my desire
To end his stupid smile as it keeps me awake
His eyes glaze over as the blue turns to gray
Coldness bleeds through my heart like a dying snowflake
He is dead, I killed the reason I cant sleep with hate
I will now be able to get my rest that he stopped
So I close my eyes and wait for the call
Of the goddess of sleep as I feel her do fall
On my lap as she smiles and embraces my eyes
They now turn gray like my shadow she says "you despise"
As I feel her hands squeeze so tight in my throat
I beg her to stop but I cant speak just choke
I feel my body turn colder than hers
As I know my fate will end up like the smilers
Her soul less feel I know it to well
She never let me in her evergreen dwell
As I lay dead in her cold bare chest
At least I will get a full nights rest
Live by the sword die by the sword
