Sleep

Afraid to closer her eyes
lots thoughts dwelling in disguise
she doesnt want to fall asleep
in fear she'll fall too deep
and dream herself into exile
or someplace so wont leave for awhile
tomorrow
she doesnt want to awake
where painted faces and smile are fake
push the intersection just a little closer
for yourself not them so it wont force her
lost in this romantic tragedy
we always start and end with family
was once a mans genuis ideal
meaningful words something to feel
back and forth circular wounds we cannot heal
stop and listen tell me what do you hear
she offered nor reply
because there was no sound far or near
