All I want to do is sleep
Then wake up and face
the outside world.

For if I give into
this tug-of-war,
and face the dawn?

I may as well be one
of the walking dead,
no mind or soul attached.

I cling to each memory
possible of you, as if
that will save me.

I grip and pull the blanket
over my head, blocking out
the lone sunlight rays.

You haunt my dreams
because I always
think of you.

All I desire is to sleep,
then wake up and face
reality without you.
