Sleep.
I haven't slept in over a century
never had I a need to
yet every time I look at you
watching you fall slowly into slumber
a totally different world
dreaming of your wishes
a reality I cannot bring to you
the nightmares that terrorize your mind
you scream but I can't save you
I want to turn away but I can't leave you
not to drown in your dying memories
horrible thoughts that grab hold of your brain
and then you slowly awake
out of your groggy state
and never before
never before I fell in love
have I ever wished more than anything
To lay by your side and sleep.
