Surviving

I am afraid to sleep,
In my dreams,
him I see.

I am afraid to sleep,
Hold my breath,
Scared he will hear.

I am afraid to sleep,
This night is too long,
Silence when I scream.

Awake I find I was asleep.
Drowning in memories,
Scared to face reality.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
