You sit awake at 5 AM Unable to sleep from the heat A mind burdened by desire and ambition Blurry dreams that are out of focus Impossible to see for the eyes that have lost their vision Out of touch from the heart beat slowing down You’d mourn the loss of your being But tears can’t heal the dying And pain, no matter how brilliant, can’t bring back the dead You climb back into your coffin Next to your fellow corpse in the bed of hope And you realize Sometimes it’s better to let it die

Let It Die
You sit awake at 5 AM Unable to sleep from the heat A mind burdened by desire and ambition Blurry dreams that are out of focus Impossible to see for the eyes that have lost their vision Out of touch from the heart beat slowing down You’d mourn the loss of your being But tears can’t heal the dying And pain, no matter how brilliant, can’t bring back the dead You climb back into your coffin Next to your fellow corpse in the bed of hope And you realize Sometimes it’s better to let it die
Just a little something I wrote at 5 AM this morning.
