As Darkness Falls Upon Me

I lie awake while desperate

for sleep time it keeps passing

but the hours are bleak

I've come to the conclusion

that I must be doing something

wrong or maybe it's just that

my patience is gone. I don't know

what others think before settling

for bed........

but sure wish I could abandon

these festering thoughts as the

pillow cradles my head. Mostly

because of anger maybe because

of rage mostly because I desperately

seek the key that opens this cage.

Am I supposed to love a

man who has no sympathy for

my grief instead of holding my hand

he shuns and grinds his teeth

what the **** am I supposed to

do with this disdain for life I feel.

Cut the wounds even  deeper to see

if by all means it ends or heals.
