Analysis of Sleep The Silent Betrayer
-i awoke with my tears
-awful dreams causes a heartbeats
-a awry question comes to mind
-why does the night carries
-its nightmares to scuttle
-man's innocent sleeps?
-why just in one helpless moment
-a peaceful rest on the pillows
-and just in a twinkle of the unknown
-a horrible tango with unwanted
-dreams that nights do share
-but there is also sure
-a funny horror dreams
-in the broad of the daylight
-so, sleep is the silent betrayer
-of the peace it pretends often to give..
