I am so tired
But why can’t I
Keep my eyes shut?
I guess I need you here
I guess I’m afraid
Once I fall asleep,
My senses will fall into a coma
And I can’t feel you anymore.
Even though dreams
Are made of gold
Alluring and desirable
But there’s always a chance
That all I’ll see is darkness
And I can’t find you
And I’m scared I’ll lose my way
What if I don’t wake from this sleep?
So here I am
Lying fatigued and conscious
Dreaming of memories
Instead of mysteries
And maybe then
My mind will trick me
Into seeing you
Before my eyes
Writer's note: I'm sure we all experienced it, where this person is just so fixated on our minds that sleep is sacrificed.
