Sleepless Nights

A ghost that haunts my thoughts my nights are fearful My guilty conscience pressing me reminding me of my misdeeds I gasp, eyes wide open begging him to leave me I seek forgiveness and release from those I`ve decieved I clutch the blankets sweat trickling down my face He stands there above me his horrid face looms in I turn away but his cold lifeless breath touches my ears I shiver in fear Let me sleep! I beg you Let me sleep! At least a night or two release me from your curse Leave me alone give me some peace I`ll atone for my sins So let me sleep.
