Lets be specific

The curtain of day prepares to come down
Tormenting life within
I wait, still wait
To see a pair of sleeping eyes

Stare outside, to look at nothing
Believe its going to be morning
Open hands out to hold rain
Sleep, deep sleep
Sleep on

The hands of clock moves fast
Moves slow
Flowing in its pace and row
Blood stained first string
A broken ankle

Sleep, deep sleep
Sleep on

Once a nymphet, once a crush
Or even a pre-lady Chatterley
Where did my soothsayer leave me?
A creased mind is punctuated by ellipses of hope

Sleep, deep sleep
Sleep on

A wish – stop beating
Stop reacting, be numb
My
heart
My knowledge killed me
This furor is prolonging

Sleep, deep sleep
Sleep on

Words, sentences, phrases
Emotions, no, not emotion
No tears
Now, I want them
I want to get this out

I try, try on, try again, try later
Where are my tears?
Sleep, deep sleep
Sleep on

I am trying, go
Leave me
I want to live
I want to live to die
No peace
No smokes

Only sleep, deep sleep
Sleep on
