I sleep on bricks

On sleepless nights, I wonder why  my dreams are of terror
Why the bricks i'm sleeping on never quite get soft enough.
My eyes are closed but my mind is always open-waiting to be filled.

Filled with what you may ask?
I would first say love, because that's what you want me to say.
But in realty I don't know why i'm waiting, for me it will be a surprise
I suppose i'm fine with that.
