I Won't Sleep Tonight

Tears are streaming
Down my face tonight
I feel like sobbing and screaming
Because inside you aren't alright

I try to silently cry, I do my best
I watch you breathe in sleep
I want to lay my head upon your chest
So I can listen you your heart beat

You shiver in your slumber
And as I drape a blanket over you
I see the scars, in all their numbers
I want to erase them, but touch them is all I can do

And as my fingers leave your skin
You begin to stir
I don't want you to see me crying again
It would tear you apart, I'm sure

I hope you don't awake
Because you are exhausted deep within
The pain is more than you can take
And that realization hits me again

I won't sleep at all
But tonight, I don't want to
I'd rather watch you, my steady wall
My dreamer, my teacher, my best friend so true

The tears won't stop their downpour
I wish they'd wash your pain away
You have so much to live for
And forever in my heart you'll stay

Your eyelids flutter as mine flow over the top
Your chest rises and falls
I'm scared if I look away, it'll stop
You are indeed my all.
