I Don't

Alone in the dark
I wait
Not a sound is heard
Not a light is seen
Cold
I'm cold
Without a doubt
I am cold
And tired
Not physically tired
No
Just tired
But I can't sleep
I don't want to be awake
I don't want to think
I don't want to feel
I don't
Yet how can I rest
When my body says 'no'
'Yes' I tell it
It doesn't listen
It never does

Alone in the darkI waitNot a sound is heardNot a light is seenColdI'm coldWithout a doubt I am coldAnd tiredNot physically tiredNoJust tiredBut I can't sleepI don't want to be awakeI don't want to thinkI don't want to feelI don'tYet how can I rest...
