Now I lay me down to sleep,
Tears crest and fall down my cheek.
But as hard as i try, I cannot rest,
Nor calm the aching in my chest.
Broken hearted, I muffle cries,
Insistent burning behind my eyes.
Fighting hard to remain strong,
The night has never seemed so long.
My mind is numb; my body too,
I'm so scared that I might lose you.
Shaking badly-here I lie,
Confused and dazed-can't help but cry.
Praying I'll soon understand,
My blanket clenched in my hand.
I groan out loud, "what can I do??"
I'd do anything not to lose you.
[[ please stay with me. please ]]
