The Sleep Poem by Dustin Lee

Empty within, I wander again,
In this pit of insanity,
The darkness inside, Oh God how I tried,
But life's lost all its meaning to me,
The sky has gone black, and there's no turning back,
This feeling has taken control,
I tried to be tough, but I've had enough,
Of this pain that's killing my soul.
Its raining outside but the cold will provide,
The reality that I need,
This life feels so fake, but this knife that I take,
Please hold me while I bleed.
The darkness is here but no longer I fear,
As long as you hold me so tight,
As I slip to abyss, wonder what I will miss?
You whisper everything is all right.

My sanity, has gone away from me,
And things will never be the same,
No matter how I try, I still want to die,
And only I am to blame,
I can't take this pain, it drives me insane,
To know I let you slip away,
The blade runs thin, and I bleed from within,
My heart grows cold today,
The blood running fast, I think to my past,
And you are my only good thought,
My vision grows dim, as I'm bleeding from limbs,
I still feel the love that you brought,
No sunshine at all, on my knees now I crawl,
Towards your photo by the bed,
I've been living a lie, I don't care if I die,
Cause without you I am already dead,
Seconds tick by, in the blink of an eye,
But eternity it seems,
Bleeding some more, I collapse to the floor,
Forever dreaming sweet dreams,
In Eternal Rest, I pray for the best,
For you and all you love,
I'll keep watch over you, in all that you do,
Protecting you from above.
