asleep

By lost the lonely dead •
falling at last onto my bed
sleep's nothing but a dream tonight
what does it mean i wonder?
does it even really matter?
how often the answers are so obvious
and yet im still so blind
open a blind and then a window
take a breath and give a sigh
think a thought and then a prayer
pick a star and make a wish
i hope you're reading this
if only you knew how much i miss
precious minutes are simple moments
i wish i could grab one and pin it down
but the air of time keeps slipping
through these cold finger the sand sifts
and before i know it im asleep again
