The Awakening

Wake me up when it all ends
Please wake me up when my heart mends.
I don't want to see the dimmest light
I don't want up til it's alright.
Don't shake me up, or say my name
Please wait til things are back the same.
If not the same; atleast anew
And don't wake me until its through.
I'll be hiding in the dark
My brain shut down, my heart in park.
My eyes are closed cause I'm afraid
To see all the mistakes I've made.
Don't aggrevate my humble rest
Before all things are at their best.
Putting all this stuff on you
Even seems like too much to do.
It seems I have lost all control
I've lost all courage, and lost my soul.
Too weak, to even think of strong
Please let me sleep, I don't care how long.
Remember to wake me, I told you when
And I will get up, but only then.
If you never awaken me, and walk away
I'm sorry you had to leave me this way.
