Tonight I slept


Tonight I slept

Better then ever

Last night I wept 

felt like I ran a fever

 

Feels like I'm breaking

like i've been hit

Not a beating

just comments when they seem fit

 

Happens all to often

It's never right

It's rotten but not every night

 

Sometime's I'm right to sleep

or awake in tears

quiet I keep

Haunted by my fears

 

Fears could be right

Maybe I'm mistaken

Choosing the wrong light

Never know which path is to be taken

 

Tonight I dream

They could wake me

Dreams and fears working as a team

Iguess that's how it has to be
