Let Me Rest...

If I try and sleep tonight
Will I sleep at all?
Will soft whispers return
And not stop until they are heard?
My bones call for the morning
But my skin can not take the light.
I am crying as the tears have finally come
But my mind is too heavy to dry them.
Silence was my closest friend
But it has betrayed me like the others.
Please, hold me as time draws on
Before it gets too late.
My eyes are red
And my heart is heavy.
My soul is eternal
But my flesh is dying.
I am weary,
Let me rest...
