The Sheets

by amtulhajra

I pull the sheets over my head, There's darkness around. And suddenly it feels home. Darkness perceives of what I've been longing for, It's where i belong. Where I'm not fearful. Where nothing can harm me, Solely, because I'm the only harm here. A harm so murk, That grasps every body it gets close to, And persecutes it, To demise. There's no getting back, There's no forgetting. It keeps me awake, The inquity. It sweetly toxins me, And I'm off to a deep sleep. At whatever time, I get pulled back; Im prompted, Prompted of all the gloaming mystic. And I'm inescapable, Of all the despair. Im excessively unaware Of all the agony it beholds. That being, A reckless pair. Disheartened, But faithful. Accurate, But flawed. Hostile But shambled. Too much to complicate the shade, And Too little to interpret hell. Yet, Why? Does this bring me tranquility? Why does this bring me back home?
