Indiscernible Void
When I lie in bed at night
My mind pulls me away
Turns dark from the bright of day
Into a void that binds me tight.
Strangled by my thoughts
Don't want to be alone
Don't leave me on my own
A rope across my chest tied in a knot.
I can't move an inch
Can't think, only fear
Fear of truths far and near
As the darkness begins to pinch
Once at last I drift afar
From which I hope to never wake
As my mind begins to break
As up above drifts a lone star.
