Weep

Some days I wonder why I wake when dreams I fancy,

In their fabrications do I wonder and weep.

Sorrow softly slips me into realities of impossibilities where I do leap.

These times are fragile fragments shattering when silence is subdue.

When quiet quickly flees, noise, neither needed nor welcomed, does creep.

Like a condemning conscience, truths of tomorrow are forever,
And sleep succumbs by slings of reality.

How a chance could dawn a dream, and set momentary motionless to this setting sadness in sleep.

Shrouds of future failings suppress fantasies of frivolity, replaced with the woven woes and worries of ever.

I no longer long for courage, love, or life, when pillows may pluck and pick me to peace for just a few tears, I shall 
willfully weep forever.
