Sleep

swallow me up
take me into darkness
once again
extinguish my pain
cover up my fear
i've done all i can

there's nothing left
nothing but dreams
all unreal
but it's so much better
than being alone here
with all i don't want to feel

sunlight shines
in thin streams
through the closed blinds
barely lighting
the couch where i sit
passing the time

i pray for sleep
to take me away
far from this
i don't want to think
not about my lack of strength
or about him
