Nocturnal
Scotty McCarty
I can feel the night air against my skin.
I’ve never been so awake.
I’d give anything to grasp sleep again.
I can only feel real when I dream.
My heart craves you, father.
I can no longer feel your touch.
Just help me sleep.
Insomnia is spreading through me.
I’m asking you for help.
I’d give anything to feel your light again.
I’m asking for your love.
My heart craves you, father.
I can no longer feel your touch.
Just help me sleep.
A boy needs his father, his strength.
I’m starving to fall asleep in your arms.
