Do You Count Your Nights Awake?

Do you count your nights awake?

Hide from your life in the arms of the night,

Does it take away your heart's ache?

In the daylight you bleed for another's sake,

Avoid the sun and bask in the moon's light,

Do you count your nights awake?

Number the hours, the seconds til you break,

Dreading this endless war you fight,

Does it take away your heart's ache?

Your cries leave you to tremble and quake,

The scars you carry, a heavy sight,

Do you count your nights awake?

You shiver, as your resolve does shake,

Wearily grasping for a shred of might,

Does it take away your heart's ache?

Be gentle with the final breaths you take,

When you elope with the reaper to be alright.

Do you count your nights awake?

Does it take away your heart's ache?
