I Count The Hours…
I do you know, count the hours,
That I lie awake in my bed!
Thoughts in abundance, scary too!
It's really messing with my head!
I go to bed, and lie down my head;
And off I drift once more to sleep,
Then suddenly, at some point,
I awake; as once more my fears do creep!!
Try as I might, I don't know why?
This is all happening to me!
It's not that I am over imaginative!
I'm a level headed lass you see!
But something wakes me up!
And every night it's the same!
I lie there terrified in my bed!
While this fear washes over me again!
What can I do? Hell, I don't know!
All I do know is this; for sure!
Something in the recess of my mind,
Has opened some other door!
And through that door is fear,
A fear so great within me,
That I awake each night, and lie there,
Eyes closed, in case I don't like what I see!
So why is this happening to me?
I really wish that I knew!
But one thing I will say for certain,
You'd be terrified if it happened to you!
So tonight it's a serious chat with God,
To put this business right!
And sort out what the problem is;
So that I can finally sleep at night!!!
Without fright, without fear!
Just blissful snooooozing!!!
