Sleep

I can't sleep...
My mind wonders into places it shouldn't.
I patiently wait for my death,
As I lay motion-less in my bed.

I don't want to escape this fate.
I just want to rest.
All I do is shiver from head to toe.
I can't stop crying...

When will it all end?
When will these nightmares subside?
I can't take it any more...
I'm slowly losing my mind.

Can I lay my head upon your lap?
Will you whisper sweet lies to me?
Let me sleep...
That's all I need.
