I Can Knot Sleep

So much to say, no words will work
                         Take hold of me, I can not sleep
                                                    One more left, can you not hear
I’m lost inside, yet nothing is missing
Hide and seek, one two ten
                       Regret not spoken, fear for a fool
                                                     Shield is held, taken down by one
Can not you hear?
Speak mine lips and sink thy pills
Sleep come not, whither in thine mind
                                                                Helplessly frail to conjure life
                                                               Sleepless night, followed path
                                                                                          Real undone
                                        Hear not what you can
                                         Arise.Wake.Ruin.You.
Sleep.
                                                                                                Knot.
