Nights Wake

-Nights wake-


The night is dead. Longs for absurdity, what’s left is a heart of fire.

The abomination of the fallen. Serotonin left astray. Beg for the long-lost magnum opus. Tear apart Librium. Sheer lust of the requisite. Where are we now? 

Deprave the senses. Blind from touch, brail inherently deemed moot.

My eyes close and I see the void. I open them to see the lie. 

Tears stream down my face like rivers surface in the Sahara.

I'm feeling such sadness in your lines, and sorry for whatever prompted them.
