As I lay down my head
Fresh dust is thrown
While droplets of salt and water fall
Screams and wails cover the area
Why
Why now
Has the time come
We weren’t ready.
As I lay down and close my eyes
I slip into a peaceful rest
The sleep to awaken my soul
But on this day I will not sleep alone
No, not alone
For others shall follow in this slumber.
As we lay down to sleep
We wonder shall we be punished
Or shall we be rewarded
Have we been obedient
But then I wonder
If I was to sleep tonight
Would I become a distance memory
Would I be long forgotten
Would anyone care.
If I was to sleep
Would you be happy
Would you be sad
Would you cry
Would you rejoice.
If I was to sleep
Would you remember me as a nice person
Remember me as a devil
Remember me as a jerk
Remember me as a friend
Remember me as someone sensitive
Remember me as someone kind
Would you even remember me at all
Now it’s late
The time has come
Now I sleep my peaceful slumber.
