**Fall into Sleep
a True nightmare
*SASk. . .
(empathy to what is happening to my daughter.)

Awake I do not want to be
alone in the dark
with misery
with the agony
of my stiffled scream
that haunts and taunts
in an empty dream~
my days are these
that don't mean much
when child and mother
can not touch
A nightmare that steals
both night and day
filling all with pain
that won't go away

And each vain appeal seals
the heart with lead
as though what is alive
might as well be
dead

till you turn away
from what once you loved
and
fall from the sky
fall from the hope
fall fall fall
from it all
to forever
sleep.
