Times
Times
I am lying here awake
Trying to sleep, but it keeps me from rest.
What it is I do not know - aching in my mind.
Return to this place - time has gone past
I feel I am missing a beat of my heart
As I lay in chains, my duvet like a rock fall
Squeezing the breath from my lungs
To dream of flying upstairs
To hear the tears of my cry
My voice a hollow excuse for noise
These times are mine
Close my eyes, close my eyes
Let the shore wash over me
Let the moonlight lay cold on my bare skin,
Close my eyes and hold my sides.
These times pass me by -
Times of ages old
Times of trying to understand
I am missing a beat of my heart
I have an itch I cannot scratch.
Rest now - breath steady
Tomorrow will reveal a path - a mirror of honesty.
I am lying here awake.
