Guardian Angel, Angel Dear
It's time to sleep, this time I fear
When all is quiet, my mind recalls
all of my losses an my downfalls.

What could I have said?
What could I have done?
I wish that things could be undone.

So Guardian Angel, hold me tight
and aid me in my sleep tonight
please wipe my tears and leave your light
and perhaps sleep will come to me tonight.

At least, of this, Im truly glad
for the time of love that we had
but it is the child that perished within my womb
That leaves me sleepless in my room.

I am awakened, by this

If windows would close long enough,

Maybe unexpected dreams would rise

And challenge pain

That keeps insomnia company.
