a momentary distraction
a brief respite from the pain
a decision to last a lifetime
and how it can never be the same
so drown the day in darkness
shut yourself inside the house
and when it comes to call on you
stay still, and quite as a mouse
because hope is a waking dream
and i'm too terrified to sleep
no matter how bright the old lights shine
they never give off any heat
