Just awoken

Sleepness dawns but i cannot wake
Bitterness sours and i cannot shake
Needeless feelings but love still fails
Heartbeat dies but love still prevails
Thirst beckons but i cannit drink
Loss of soul but concious still sink
Aimless walking bit still no gate
Lonliness visions are the final fate
Starliight falls beyond the shadow reach
Oceans of time and lust yearns for a beach
Rivers of knowledge  but not a second to teach
Happiness fails to a scorn of the mind
Darkness of doubt and I pay in kind
Grasp of hand but the warmth flees
I beg to differ on shattered cold knees
Pain is welcome as cries soon adrift
Windless sails mighty for a hearts sunken ship
