Comfortable Erosion

I feel myself trapped in an endless repetition Effortless to rationalize each day away But the sleepless nights bring clarity A hazy clearness in a cold dark room The four walls that comfort me most I imagine they could close in upon me But a day is easy to pass through Time that once was so sacred now in surplus Is it gluttony and sloth I must repent for Or could it be forgiveness I look towards To forgive the weight and the lost days What could it mean to forget Curtains pulled to dim the sky Sneaky fabric that hides the sun and Allows another hour to pass unnoticed A timeless cycle Leaving me wistful for a spark Surely the wool can keep me warm for another night Things could be different Tomorrow
