My heartless time rivers flow'd.
My restless adversary.
My thoughtless mind had show'd,
My inundated tributary.
Flood'd,
By the sleepless anxiety.
Constant reminders of my perfectionist's folly;
My immortal immorality.
My logic's subsided.
Sanity's mistaken.
Slow'd to a dull roar,
Blowing in the wind.
My Intuition's annulment,
Blind'd by the songless hymns.
That heartbeat melody,
What set me on the brim.
My Mindless heart.
My heartless mind.
This is life,
In this peaceless soul of mine.
Time is my commodity,
Ever so rare,
What has me blind,
To this peace of time.
Perhaps, somewhere in this mind,
Ever so scared,
I may yet find,
This peace of mine.
