Sleep

By Lutra Cana

(01/17/2000)

 

I'm so tired

That I can't sleep

They say words to me

That I can't hear

 

Don't hope

Don't pray

Don't breathe

 

You are drifting away

To somewhere I don't

Belong

I can't hold you back

I'm not that strong

 

When you're gone

When you sleep

There will be nothing

Left for me

 

No hopes

No prayers

No breath upon

My cheek

 

My body is tired

My heart weary

My soul in peril

Of losing it's place

 

You are tired

You must sleep

Drift away

I won't try to keep

You here

 

Take all my hopes

All my prayers

The very air

I breathe

 

I am tired

But I can not sleep
