Before I wake

By Slicks78

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

"Before I wake" I cry dry tears, Cause there's no more to give Hardly the strength to live Hanging on by a thread That's ready to break How much more do I have to take? Before my soul can rest... Haven't I passed the test? Can't your eyes see, what this is doing to me (Chorus) Now I lay me down to sleep If I should die before I wake Hear one last plea You could have saved me The nightmares start before I wake One more hopeless dream, I learn is fake Before I wake, I'll break Each breath hurts worse, Than the first The next could be my last Why does the past have to hurt so much? You talk of it, like I try to make you cry Guess you forgot, you stole my life away Now I have to pay (Chorus) Now I lay me down to sleep If I should die before I wake Hear one last plea You could have saved me The nightmares start before I wake One more hopeless dream, I learn is fake Before I wake, I'll break Now I lay me down to sleep Tears stain my pillow, I finally weep So fragile you could shatter me Pick the peices off the floor Afraid I'll be no more, Before I wake One last plea, you could have saved me I'll break before I wake Written January 11th, 2002 © on Jan 11 2002 10:59 AM PST, Sharon   20 • 0 • 1
