2 years ago I wished for death I breathed in pills like they were oxygen Between the scars and my wrist and the tension in my bones Nights were infinitely longer than days 6 months ago I fantasized her sweet kiss Every thought dedicated to the romance Every decision dedicated to numbness 3 am daydreams of helium tanks and ****** A month ago I drank myself out of consciousness Until I was no longer forced awake By the pulling between my temples As if a void was in the center of my mind This week my pillow beckoned to me as a long lost lover Tonight we caressed each other Tll I drifted into a blissful slumber But plagued by mares of the the nights to come

Diary of an insomniac
2 years ago I wished for death I breathed in pills like they were oxygen Between the scars and my wrist and the tension in my bones Nights were infinitely longer than days 6 months ago I fantasized her sweet kiss Every thought dedicated to the romance Every decision dedicated to numbness 3 am daydreams of helium tanks and ****** A month ago I drank myself out of consciousness Until I was no longer forced awake By the pulling between my temples As if a void was in the center of my mind This week my pillow beckoned to me as a long lost lover Tonight we caressed each other Tll I drifted into a blissful slumber But plagued by mares of the the nights to come
