Now I lay me down to sleep
A Poem by
GhoulOfGore
Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep Guide me safely through the night and wake me with the morning light Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord that I will not weep For mother's surgery failed tonight She will not wake to the morning light Now I lay me down to sleep with a bottle of depressants at me feet If I must wake to the morning light I hope to God I'll be alright Now I lay me down to sleep Its been years and I cant sleep For nightmares haunt me through the night I do not want to see the morning light Now they lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep carried to heaven, for I have died Buried by my mother's side.
