Lying still.
Fast awake
And the things in mind
Just overtake
The slumber
That keeps slipping
Over me.

Heavy thoughts
And floating words
A mixture made of
Visions blurred
As waning is my
Focus on this
Day.

Nite aright
And steadily
Comes and droops
Right next to me
But how do I escape
To slumber elsewhere?

Dream away
And far from here
The neverending sights:
So clearly
Overtaken.
Reveries
Reveal the hidden secrets
You claim to not have answers for.

Like a lyric
Leaning in
And over, on, in
Back again…
Stuck inside
The mind just as
A mnemonic
Strives
To hold onto.

The notes you leave
Right there, behind
No
In the backside of
Our minds
Explode
Upon the realization
Of truths
You always told.

Breathing quick
And take a gasp
But hardly try
To overact
Slap yourself
Upside the head
Once all is said
And done.

The music
In the background
Fades to silence
Here tonight
The memory
Plays distorted
In the moods
And in the light
Contorted…
Likened to
Another.

Endless night.
