I PRAY FOR SLEEP 

PRAYING

 THIS IS ALL A DREAM

YET THEN I WAKE

REALITY 

BURNS  INTO ME

NOT EVEN IN SLEEP

CAN I MAKE THIS GO AWAY

DARKNESS OF OBLIVION

HAUNTS MY DREAMS  OF GRAY

HELPLESS AND REACHING

YET

 I CANT HELP YOU...

I SCREAM TO GOD

TELL ME WHAT TO DO....

THEN IN A SWEAT I WAKE

STARTLED BY BLACKNESS

I BEGIN TO SHAKE

I'M AFRAID  OF NIGHT

YET DREADING THE DAY

I LOOK FOR THE WORDS

YET

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY

IM WALKING INTO OBLIVION

THERE IS NOTHING BELOW

THE PAIN IN MY EYES

IS BEGINNING TO SHOW

IM HELPLESS TO HELP YOU

IM AFRAID I WILL LOOSE

MY BODY IS WEARY

MY MIND IS CONFUSED

I PRAY AND I CURSE

I SCREAM AND I WEEP

I BARGAIN AND THREATEN

THEN FALL TO MY KNEES

I SCREAM

GIVE  ME THE SUFFERING

I SHOUT  AT THE SKIES

AND

 WITH MY HEART  BREAKING

I WIPE A TEAR FROM HER Eyes

IF ONLY I COULD TAKE HER PAIN  AWAY

IF ONLY GIVE HER ONE MORE BRIGHTER DAY

IF ONLY THINGS  WERE NOT THIS WAY

IF ONLY.... NEVER CAME....
