Sleep
Dear me,
Why can't you sleep?
Does the darkness trouble thee?
As your mind chases grief
Do you struggle just to breathe?
Dear me,
You must go to sleep
Life won't stop for you to weep
Dry your tears gracefully
And smile for the whole world to see
Dear Me,
Are you asleep?
Did you fall to your knees in agony?
Hide the nightmares that you keep
Tomorrow will come peacefully
Dear Me,
You must stay asleep
Quiet the chaos and stifle the screams
Silence the demons
That invade your dreams
Dear me,
You must not sleep
Or life may pass too quickly.
Rouse from your clouded lucidity
And awaken now...
It was only a dream
Dear Me,
Don't fall asleep
