DREAMLESS SLEEP

 

 

Deep rooted agony

Why do I nurture and feed it,

Does it have its seed

Within my self imposed morality…

 

This agonizing aloneness

Where does it seep from

Do I herald this by pushing

Away all those that come on strong…

 

The need to be held, to matter,

To the exclusion of all else

Do I spin and chase dreams

That can never in this life pulse…

 

Perhaps better was the sleep of the dead

Dreamless, painless, with no need

Robotically doing my due

Never recognizing the void it breed…
