SLEEP

[e_baby]

This poem is in no way from my own personal experince, but it's actually an observation of a friend I once had:
SLEEP
She closes her eyes
And takes a deep breath
Her eyes sting with tears
And her lungs burn with her every breath
She's been crying for days
Though she can't remember why
Weakness floods her soul
She's addicted to her pain
There are dark circles under her crimson eyes
Because she hasn't slept for awhile
Her only hope lies in her worst fears
She's alone now, only she can save herself
Realization smiles onto her sad face
As the poison filters through her veins
Tremors and chills render her senseless
And she falls to the ground crying again
Alone and cold with her visions of death
She prays to end this cycle of torture
But she can't seem to save herself
Scared that there's nothing left in the world for her
Her heart breaks once more
As she lifts the poison needle to her arm
She closes her eyes and lets out a moan
When she pushes the chronic hate into her veins
She slips out a hoarse whisper:
"Sleep, God I wish that I could sleep."

"Take my hand and come with me...close your eyes and dream."
