sleep is evasive (3.53 am)
the long dark shadows of night
a security blanket (3.54 am)
enveloping my thoughts
cleansing my mind (3.55 am)
stealing my sanity
eroding my self (3.56 am)

unrestrained
it grows
a dark tangled clot
interwoven
tree-like
en-masse
multiplying
a malignant tumour
rotting my mind
devouring my soul

the day you went away was bleak
a howling wind announced you departure
torrential rain washing away your footsteps
silence reverberated from cold walls
and still does
as does haziness
hang
a gray halo encircling emptiness
where once a heartbeat sang to the rhythm of life
now only silence bemoans the hollow wail of death

,
death stares
your cold eyes
icy hard
drill through my head
penetrating my core
a laser beam
red hot
crippling my thoughts
paralysing my limbs
to not care
my only salvation
so I don’t
and I am free
