Sleep is not my friend tonight.
For tonight holds with it all my fears.
The howling of a hurting heart.
The darkness engulfs all that I hold dear.
And from this darkness,
Once rolled empty tears.

It seeps right through the bone.
Once again I feel it.
That cold that grips the soul.
This torment, it is not new, it is not old.

Sleep is not my friend tonight,
For the greater good. Because I should.
I must push it all off a ledge.
Till all that's felt is nothingness.
