A Sleeper but No Sleep (Aug. 3, 2010)

Tears drop, but no joy

My past hunts me with no fear of any

Painful memories flow through my mind like an ocean with currents of large kind

I slowly die inside because of this happening

My fear of telling this past keeps me running so dearly

Peaceful sleep is hardly there to dream sweet dreams or rest good rest

But at the beginning of the new day, there's a smile

It keeps the my tears from shedding and bleeding me away from reality
