Please go mercifully to sleep
Into a dream so much less bleak
Another world keeps you entranced
A battered mind at last relaxed
I lie awake, a bridge between
Your cold hard world and peaceful dream
Can't watch you rise up once again
To face this world of suffering
Each night inspires
These dark desires
Continues after the ad
Beneath a veil, your smile betrays
What your conscience dares not say
The truth is not just physical
It dwells amongst the beautiful
May steady hand do right by you
I'll bear this burden for us two
With one last breath I set you free
May you dream eternally
