Why I fear to sleep



I wonder why I don't go to bed and wander off to sleep.
But something clicks in my mind that it would be tomorrow,
so I decide that no matter how tired,
no matter all the things we have transpired,
My biggest fear is I am already sleeping while all the night things are stuck out creeping
I can stay awake for a day or more as I lay here watching you fade in such sleep, I feel like I took a giant leap towards your love so deep
All I want is you to never leave I feel like if you did all I would be able to do is greive
The sorrow from my heart would just fall completely apart
