Sleep

Iâ??m going to go to sleep now, who knows for how long
How long sleep will hold me, how long Iâ??ll be gone

Will it be just for this night, or will it be forever?
Will I wake to find the world, or wake to find much better?

Will this sleep betray my trust and let me wake once more,
Or shall it leave me sprawling, dead upon the floor?

Oh so beautiful, this ominous night, that which decides my fate
I will cherish this picturesque night, when all the pain will abate.

How long must I live â??till all my hope is gone?
How long will I lay awake but never see the sun?

Never more will breaking dawn whisk away my breath.
I now sleep forever, finally, peaceful deathâ?¦
