Lifeless Breathe

I shall sleep till the hours have past
At last I see the day has began 
Hours of parched tongue
Waiting so willingly for its drink 
To much time for me to think 
Of the nothingness that follows 
While I willow in my breathless wonder 
In this bed I dream weary and light 
Of the endless fight 
For the feeling, of heartbeats that are real 
As they rush through these veins 
Like glory of trains  
Dim lit room of lavender walls 
Unleashed snow squalls 
Out of my window 
Where I once walked 
Waiting to heal this weight 
In my lungs not so great 
While the clearing is not far from the bedside of mine 
All I need is patience and a little more time
