Edgar Allan Poe and the Sleeping Medication

I can no longer express the events in my life in a cognitive, literary fashion.

I have now become a dazed combination of broken words, fleeing emotions, repetitive thoughts, and aching memories;

all coated in layer upon layer of confusion.

‘Sleep those little slices of death; oh how I loathe them’, and yet they still beckon my name.

Clawing and dragging my mind into unconsciousness.

As the night envelops me, I silently pray.

Pray my dreams do not devour me tonight, with the sharp fanged jaw that is thoughts of you.
