I wait,
till my eye lids feel like lead and my mind's drained,
I wait.
I wait for the dreamless sleep
so that I don't feel empty as my dreams show me people I cant hug and voices that have started to fade.
I promise to sleep as long as I find peace,
As long as I know I won't wake up with tears on my pillow and a ringing in my ear from memories of better times.
I will wait.
Just a minute more and the world will fade,
and I will go where I believe nothing ever happened.....
