Dreamless Sleep
Tonight will be a dreamless sleep
You know tomorrow will come just like it had today
With angels watching you overhead
You know no dreams will fill your mind at night
You used to wish upon a star
For even a slight glimmer of light
To pierce the ever darkening shadows
To tell you everything will be alright
That things will get better
Though you wished with all your might
Dreams never get past the twilight
The dreary shadows close in around you
Stabbing all of your happy thoughts
Cold blood staining cloths of white
Leaving only the torments of nightmares
Every day you fight To live, laugh, love…
But at night, you cower in the closet out of sight
Afraid of what lies in a world of unconsciousness
There is no longer a gleaming white knight to save you
To make this wrong once again right
To listen and understand what you’re going through
To hold you tight and accept “I’m Sorry” when it’s truly felt
But the shadows consumed him and nightmares replaced your memory of him
You wake up drenched in sweat screaming his name
Wishing he was there, but knowing he’ll never come back to you again
Tomorrow will come just like it had today
But nightmares will rip away at the twilight
The stars and the moon in the deep blue sky are bright
But a blanket of darkness and terror will soon take over and cover it…
In a dreamless sleep
