The World Disappears

The world disappears

When you go to sleep

I don’t know about you

But it gives me the creeps



What are you going to do

Stay awake for eternity

Which is just a little bit

Longer than infinity



No other option then

So rest, you must

Of course, while you’re away

You could be merely dust



Laying there allegedly dormant

Animated upon awakening

Seems possible, but still

That would be frightening



After all, you know that

You put yourself to bed

While you were there

Were you alive or dead



Which really does

Beg the question

Were you in hell or

Were you in heaven



You don’t even know

Where you went

Or how long you were gone

Was it time well spent



All I know is that

I will do it again

Try as I might to

Untrain my brain



Unable to face my fears

As the world disappears
