Sleep

I want to know where I was the moment you laid your eyes to rest The moment you were leaving, heart stopped beating in your chest Was the sun risen or could you see the crest Of the moon Know I’m throwing away the doubt I had Because I can’t believe in a world that ends with death and with that said When I saw you in that coffin I knew it wasn’t you What is a body without a soul It wasn’t you I say there is no shame but there is, there is plenty And the pain My dear, to know I’ve failed you has overwhelmed me But my death will not be from my own hand It would haunt my loving family, my caring friends I don’t want them asking what could I have done But don’t think I’ll be missing this life when I am gone
