To sleep and dream of some happy moments,
Through night which will pass in rest so pleasant,
Smoothly till morn wakes me gently to be
And I must face the chill of reality.

I only drink so that I’ll go to sleep.

Avoid those dreams or restless wanderings,
Dispel the blood on death hands gathering,
Shun the eyes glazed in their final chill breath,
Escape visions cast in this mini-death.

I only take pills that I’ll go to sleep.

I see open veins like revolving doors,
Nightmares flowing to crash on sleeping shores,
Oceans would drown me if I leave to sleep,
I stay awake hoping my soul to keep.

Gloom

I get this one too well
I also, wish I could sleep peacefully
once again in the darkness of the night
Yet my eyes remain open
scared I might lose everything.

good write,
Mags

Don't cry because it's over: smile because it happened.

Thank you, Dark Kisses,
Glad I could touch an understanding.

I avoided reality most of my life.... and
feared death of knowing where at that time my soul would go....
