Slumberless

As darkness falls and others sleep in moonlight, full and sleek Internal emotions sick in my soul and the dreams never come Persistent wispers must always taunt like the blowing wind outside As sleepless demons slowly creeping in through to emptiness... to my mind inside Thirty minutes could be thirty years and another hour has passed and still, I fight this consciousness of the vivd times of past From front to back, side to side then back to front my shadows roll uncomfort in my memory and even in this empty bed I reach across to gain the memory of your hair i used to play with your hair it brought me comfort it brought me rest it broguht me saftley it brought me sleeping like a lake of fluid smooth dreams in this chamber room you'de keep And so I sing this song of lonely nights forever to pacify my mind Then roll to the other side of love where there is no one. Beanteth these sheets I palpitate those demons always participate My soul tormented as I sink from dusk to dawn and these hundred years that pass so slow and not even flow of tears can put me out for a single wink.
