Sleep

I sleep to take away
the pain,
but when I awaken it is
there again.
There are no
pills or medicine
for what I have.
A broken-heart needs
time to heal.

I wish the days would
just rush by. so I don't
have to cry.
When you love some-one
who lies,
and your hopes and dreams
do die.

I just sleep to take
it all away.
Hardly able to face
another day.
Then I don't really
want to eat
for my sadness is
feeding me.
I wish I could face my
chores, but all I did
was sleep.

People say that love hurts.
But, I say when you are
not loved,
is when it hurts,
and when you are betrayed.

You may wonder what he did.
Oh, my story is the
classic one,
the same that breaks all
others hearts.
He was cheating on me.
I was too blind to see
the truth,
and the man who made
a fool of me.
Yes, he was cheating and
lying all along;
the same old song.

I sleep to forget him and
the love I have buried
deep inside of me,
to relieve the pain of
a broken heart.

I have no-one to turn to,
so I will return to God.
Hoping He can awaken me from
the darkness of sleep.
Hoping that someday I can awaken
to a brighter day.
