Sleep

I cant, I wont. 

'sleep' this voice tells me. 

I cant, I wont. 

I close my eyes. I see fire. I see flames. I see it burning. 

'sleep' ...

I close my eyes. I feel heat. I feel chills. I feel defeated. 

'sleep' .....

I close my eyes. I taste the air of that day. I taste ashes. I taste tears. 

'sleep' .......

I close my eyes. I hear screaming. I hear crying. I hear apologizes.

'sleep' ..........

I cant, I wont. 

'sleep' this voice tells me. 

 I open my eyes. I see nothing. 

I feel nothing.

I taste nothing.

I hear nothing. 

'sleep' this voice tells me.

I can. But I wont.
