Endless Sleep
I am lost within myself
I look to you for salvation
I wish to leave anger behind
And free myself of the chains hold me
I strive to find understanding within
These wretched tears stain my cheeks
With sadness and despair I long for
A glimpse of the woman I left behind
Or did she even exist?
Was she a mere vision, a spectre?
Taunting me and distorting my reality
I only wish for some peace of mind
And the heaviness of my heart to fade
To wake up within the sun again
To leave behind the darkness and
The ever present nightmares that follow
Doubt looms over me with its scythe
Ready to swing down the moment I falter
Is this how I shall leave this earth?
No whispers of regret from loved ones
No arms to reach out for me and pull me
Back from the brink just in time......
That’s it then, just the abyss to swallow me
And all that awaits me.....endless sleep
