When the Night Comes (part 2)
I tried, but I'm getting tired.
Am I near to the end? Or I am near to end it and gone.
Days passed and it's getting hard.
The sun is setting but I don't know what I've done.
Laying down gives me creeps;
It's hard when you know death is playing while you sleep.
It's already midnight but I'm wide awake,
I'm waiting; hoping you're not late.
I breathe and breathe and it stopped;
I dare to speak but no words coming out.
I'm drowning, hoping not to die—
Should I believe it? I know it's a lie.
I tried to make a noise
I'm wondering if I ever had a choice.
I tried to wake up—
Trying to choose between day and night
Till now, when the night comes
I'm still afraid to close my eyes.
