I lay with the stars around me
Most of them passed long ago
Like these thoughts of mine
Scars in the ether of the mind
Each lived a life of its own
Maybe died and was reborn
But as far as you and eye can see
They've left us with a sleepless night
Enchanting as they may be
Like the mesmerizing ripples of the sea
Deep down inside
Bewitched is what's left of me,

Yet up words i shall subside
Clinging to what's left of that mind
Eyes closed fists clenched
Blanket gets heavier the deeper i sink
What's left of my hopeful breath loses
Weighed down by my burdened head

If its rigor that aids the ascend
Then harshly disciplined we shall be
If its misery that makes the steps
Then weeping through it we shall climb
If it's time that runs out like a breath
Than like the stars we shall light up the midnight sky
And if its death that gatekeeps life
Then I am indeed alive.
