Insomniacs -R- Us
People can dream
they sleep at night...
under their covers
in a deep slumber
with images dancing...
dancing in their heads
Sometimes those images stay
people live with them...
but I don't share it.
I close my eyes
but it never stays like that
I can't get the dreams...
I can't even get the nightmares...
it isn't an option for me.
So I'm left here... nothing to run to.
No one should take advantage
of the sleep they get
that is something I wish for...
perhaps with enough time...
enough hope...
enough want...
I'll get the sleep I crave...
maybe that could help...
and I'll still wait for it.
