Sleep
Lauren Burgess Nov 2011
Tonight, I want to sleep
I want to daintily float on clouds of
Merciless peace
Tonight, I want to fall into a pit of
Symphonies and melodic tunes
That frighten away my demons and
Stop my pain
Tonight, I want my heart to smile
Because you're not in the images my mind
Plays for me on the carousel of thoughts
That burn my being
Tonight, I want to break free of all that is you and
Dive under the vast sea of all that is me
***** my finger on the thorn that is my reality and
Bleed what is my hate
My nightmare
Tonight, I want to sleep

— The End —
