Sleepless

Scared to sleep,
Scared to dream,
Scared to look,
In a mirror,
Back at me,
I'm a ghost,
No longer breathing,
Hyperventilating,
Slowly dying,
What happened to me?
Oh, there goes my sleep,
Waking up,
Feeling empty,
Dreams that torment me,
Memories they haunt my dreams,
Why are they doing this to me?
I need to feel safe again,
Why do I feel,
So gone?
No, not alone,
Just not here,
Not anymore,
I'm in a different realm,
A different world,
A strange life,
So much strife,
Oh look,
A knife,
I wonder how it feels,
To pierce my heart,
You did it,
From the very start,
I've lost my sanity,
I've lost my grip,
On all reality,
No more sleep,
For me,
I've got this dream,
It seems unreachable,
Unatainable,
Somewhere beyond,
Beyond my reach,
It's of you, dear,
Where all I need,
All I have,
Is you,
Here,
With me forever,
But my sleepless nights,
My terrorizing dreams,
My tormenting memories,
They block away,
That beautiful thought,
I need to feel again,
Feel safe,
Feel restful,
Feel real again,
I need to sleep again,
So come to me,
Wrap your arms around me,
Make all pain,
All worry,
All stress,
Go away,
Help me sleep.
Help me escape this mess...
Scared to sleep,
Scared to dream,
Scared to look,
In a mirror,
Back at me...
