i sleep with my eyes open,

so my dreams don't take me over,

this messed up slumber,

this tired hunger,



time slips by,

my eyes are burning,

yet they don't want to cry,

cause they've cried enough,



i've seen too much,

felt too much,

hid from so much,

and why,



cause at night i sleep with my eyes open,

so my dreams don't take me over,

when all i want is peaceful slumber,

and sweet dreams,



instead of heart-wrenching nightmares,

and violent screams,

waking up with nose bleeds,

and in a cold sweat,



and why,

cause i sleep with my eyes open,

so my dreams don't take me over,

and so i won't have to dream of her any longer............
