Sleep Evasion
Sleep evades me tonight.
Tears are fighting to be set free.
I am stuck in an endless battle.
My eye's burn with white hot liquid.
My heart aches for comfort.
Someone to tell me, I'll make it through.
But my pride stops me.
The words die on my tongue.
I keep the pain to myself.
I let it out when no one is around to hear.
My sobs echo in empty rooms.
I hold myself together with hope.
Sleep evades me tonight.
Tears are fighting to be set free.
I am stuck in an endless battle.
Please set me free.
