Insomnia

What if morning breaks open before I find rest?

What if all of the stars leave my skies?

What if I can't be more than this nothing my best?

What if sleep never touches my eyes?



What if all that I do gets me naught in the end?

What if God never hears when I call?

What if everyone breaks because I couldn't bend?

What if no one is there when I fall?



What if all my security rests on a proof?

What if proof is a thing that's not given?

What if nobody lowers me down through the roof?

What if none of my sins are forgiven?



What if nothing I do can bring peace to my heart?

What if there is no end to my fear?

What if all my tomorrows are doomed from the start?

What if even then you are still near?
