Inconsolable

My friend, my enemy,
the conductor of my strength,
the Judas of my weakness
how you tempt me
with narcoleptic rages

I weep under the guise 
of regeneration
slipping through minutes,
through hours

unconsolably weary, 
drawing deeper inside the empty,
a wounded solitaire

I surrender the fight
one nap at a time

I'm tired
so very tired...

This describes someone who's been betrayed and is very depressed. Well written poem. Is it talking about you? Thanks for sharing. Love and happiness, Caroline.
