Deep complexity embedded in these thoughts
That weave their way through my nervous system.
Pressure rises in my chest.
Threatening to spill these feelings through my tightly sealed lips.

My mind continues to wrap itself in circles around the truth.
Attempting to form the words to explain how I feel.
I long to scream them.
To free them.
To let you know exactly what this means.

These days are growing shorter.
These sleepless nights are becoming longer and longer.
Tossing and turning.
Watching the minute hand pass
Oh too slowly.
The loudest sound in my head.
Echoing in the air.
Taunting me as it goes.

Moonlight shines through the window in a river of light
Casting lonely shadows on the wall.
Bringing to mind the darkness he portrayed.
