Insomnia

Arguments strain, and tempers flair
My voice has lack of care
Fists are clenched
And my heart begins to wrench

I hear your words, scared and full of doubt
My head lays in my hands and I just want to shout
Silence sweeps the room
My mind anticipates doom

Guilty I wallow in shame
I speak up and take the blame
You are scared and so am I
Our voices crack as we start to cry

I know the odds are not in our favor
I am petrified as my thoughts waver
I need your strength to reinforce mine
I assure you that we will be together in time

Never do I want to abandon my promise
Together we will endure all of this
I close my eyes and pray
That I will see you on that beautiful day

I know your words will comfort me
As we both lay down to sleep
But I know my hope and doubt will fight
And I know I wont sleep again tonight
