Oblivion

I pray for sleep

Hoping

This is All a Dream...

Yet, then I wake

Reality 

burns itself into me.

Not even in sleep

Can I make this go away...

Darkness of Oblivion

Haunts my dreams of gray.

Hopeless and Reaching

Yet

I Can't help you...

I scream to God,

Tell me what to do...

Then in a sweat I wake...

Startled by the blackness

I begin to Shake .

I'm afraid of night

Yet dreading the Day.

I look for the words

Yet, Can't find what to say.

I'm walking into oblivion

There is nothing below ...

The pain  in my eyes

Is finally beginning to show.

I am helpless to Help You.

I am afraid I will loose...

My body is weary

And my mind is so confused.

I pray and I curse

I scream and I weep...

I bargain and threaten

Then I fall to my knees.

I scream

"Give me the suffering"

I shout at the skies ...

And with my heart breaking...

I wipe a tear from "Her eyes" .

If only I could take her pain away

If only give  her one more brighter day

If only things were not this way.

If Only....

Never came.
