Up Late

I don't sleep
I only weep
Trying so deep
Longing for that one last dip
To the life I allowed to slip

I stay awake
Not knowing what's at stake
I wanted to stop and brake
But I always break
And make things fake

I listen to darkness
To get rid of this madness
Keeping me away from sadness
Reaching out for gladness
Get me through this blindness

I close my eyes to stop
Every second 'til I drop
I know this is all crap
Wish I can get out of this trap
Free me from this strap

I wait for every morning
Tired and always mourning
Hope one day I'll be singing
Songs that will keep me dreaming
Time to sleep and see what's coming
