Tonight
there are no dreams to comfort me
no moments of sleep
no escape from my thoughts
You creep into my room
roll me across the pillows
till I'm face down
mouth full of feathers
Screaming through the silence
I pray for the day to end
begging for the emptiness
the solitude of sleep
Dawn breaks long after my tears dried
and I'm left watching the light
clutching the sheets to my chin
eyes blank and mind lost
