SLEEPLESS

If only I could sleep!
With nothing left to think.
And the voices in my head
Wish all of them to sink
In the ocean of the dead

If only I could sleep!
I would bear the nightmares
Like a fairytale dream
I would dance with my fears
With demons I scream.
If only I could sleep

Intimate thoughts always have to creep
It’s utterly hard when you can’t even sleep
You feel weak and pulled in deep
Your eyes are dry so you can’t even weep
Wailing and moaning seems all cheap
Your voice is choked you can’t even peep
Enshrined in sins that make up a heap
How hard you try but you can’t even leap
If only I could sleep!
