Sleepless nights
moon beams loveless
empty ache within
lost im realms unseen
Softly it kills
swiftly it finishes
consistent and nightly
sweet dreams diminishes
Clouds of shadows
hide the sparkle in my eyes
dilated pupils in the dark
silently eaten apart
Admired but unaccepted
too much yet never enough
wanted but unworthy
embraced yet soon given up
No rest and no restlessness
breathing the darkness numb
these are my consequences
my scars, my secret wars
Sleepless beauty
damsel in distress
bound upon a tower
my heart and I
both longing for slumber

I am trapped inside an hourglass
these affections are shut tight
like knots within my chest
I am waiting for the test of time to pass
and that is something only silence does best
While every grain of sand falls to rise against the air I breathe
my heart is refined by endurance
there is no sweeter alternative
than to taste the fullness of love
in the ripeness of its season
