Waiting For A Never Ending Sleep

Look Up and Say Goodbye.

Colliding sweat and tears,
the blood washes them away.
Lying there already gone,
her eyes try not to sleep.
Weak and restless, regret comes to play.
Falter, watching her pain.
Helpless, I do not rest.
By her side, I wake in a sleepless dream.
Death makes me wait and see.
Her eyes close, to wake in a dream.
In a never ending sleep.
Now I look up and say goodbye.
