Wish To Sleep
Eyelids closing
like a doorway
to the night
keep fighting
overly fighting
trying not too
dont want to sleep
the images i dont want to keep
dont want them embedded in my brain
no more please, no more pain
Please no sleep
Please no sleep
Fighting for as long as i can
fighting not to see that man
just no more sleep
i no longer wish to weep
to feel it over and over again
by myself
once again
in the night with only the pain
that is imbedded in my brain
The thoughts i no longer see
only the images follow me
They wont go away no matter how hard i try
I just pray to god one day they will die
and i can go on
and sleep
just one night
without the pain
show me dreams
i wish to keep
please just one time
i wish to sleep
