Sleep

by Sweetp - Sagittarius

I lay as still as can be.
Sleep threatens to overtake me.
My body becomes limp and lifeless.
I try to breathe deeper.

But the breaths won't come.
I feel the fear creep all over me.
As I lay in silence.
Chained to the bed by an unnatural force.

My dreams float through my unconsciousness.
Falling, dreaming, sleeping.
Yet frozen stiff.
As if I'm dead.

Not a move can I make.
But for some reason I like this.
I want to stay.
Not an effort made to overcome the darkness.

Just laying, body lifeless.
Silence.
Fear as thick as a smoke cloud.
Choking the life out of me.

Yet a smile upon my face.
As I realize the time has come.
To end my pain.
And the dreams I'm made from.
