Insomnia (Emmily .D.)

This night, I hear voices in my head

So many voices that prevent me from sleeping.

Though the room is hot, though the air is stifling

Take me in your arms so I could be peaceful.

Let me forget that we don't know what we'll do tomorrow

And that the question scares me.

Let me forget that I don't know who we'll become

And that the answer frightens me.

I'm just a little woman trying to be strong

Trying to resist, trying persist.

Don't let me be alone under the blanket :

I'd like to feel secure against your deep breath,

Protected by your loving arms, in your dreamless sleep.
