External Sleep

Blood by blood, my unforgiving sins unravel. Each one putting a black dagger 
through my heart. I do not weep nor prosper with despair. My veins fill with the 
longing dark poison. As spiders crawl down my body they beg for me to go into an 
unforgotten sleep. They slowly whispers a lullaby. Shh...they speak as I drift into an 
unwaking sleep.
