Dreamless Nightmare

dreams I cannot stand dear,
they enter without cease.
they drive me from my path dear,
they barely bring me peace.
so sleeping is unlikely,
but that is my own fault,
that I have not stopped dreaming,
about the one I sought.
So help me wake this morning,
and save me from my sleep.
for if I dream again dear,
I fear that I might weep.
For all the things I’ve lost dear,
and all the things I’ll keep,
can never fix my heart dear,
that you have severed deep.
So keep me from my dreaming,
that haunts my soul tonight.
and save me from my dreaming,
so I may live the night.
