Sleepless Nights
another sleepless night spent
reminiscing of presence as
the hours become sombre
and the last remnants
of joy are scattered in lines.
another sleepless night spent
setting pupils ablaze as
memories revive their assail
and sobs become raw
with every attempted composure.
another sleepless night spent
comtemplating a compromised vein as
the blade seduces flesh
and a distraction is discovered
in the form of a pain-filled exchange.
another sleepless night spent
mourning wholesomeness' passing as
pleas are considered to re-establish
and mistakes are magnified
before each apologetic draft.
another sleepless night spent
beckoning a meeting of prints as
forgiveness feels forlorn
and devolpment is required
to salvage a piece of reconcilliation.
