Nightmares

Sometimes I fear of falling asleep

What could happen, what might I see?

You could be gone, I could be fine

But I doubt that, if I lost a friend of mine

You're more than a friend, you're my brother

Mentor, savior, everything but a lover

You mean more to me than life itself

It's more than the size of a book on a shelf

When you break down it rips me apart

When you act like this, I see no heart

You keep me alive, and for that I thank you

But what do I do, when you do it too?

You say I'm falling apart, yet another time

I see you doing the same thing; I've lost my mind

It's like a wretched nightmare right now

But I wake up and ask what? Why? How?

I don't know how it started

My soul has now departed

I'm with you forever, don't back away

I'm here for good, every single day

I scream and cry because I'm scared

Just wake me up because I've always cared

I'll do the best I can, I promise to try

Just give me a hug, before I cry
