The Beauty of Being Asleep

I am perfect here,

Nothing goes wrong,

No doubt or fear,

Feels like a song,


Ecstasy flows freely through me,

Due to your all consuming proximity,

You block out the pain I want to forget,

That’s why I get trapped inside your net,


I don’t care, however, for the concern,

I’ll return every night because I yearn,

For the dreamland escape that keeps me high

So I can ignore my life that’s passing me by


My allure to sleep is toxic, I know

But what can I say, it’s pure as snow

That’s what actually attracted me

The numbing effect it has on my insanity


So will I ever get better?

Most likely not

Yet it’s still beautiful

And it’s all I got
