It's been so long
Now my soul has withered..
Tired, my eyes threaten to close.
And as my fingers start to shake,
and the emotions in me start to break..
I pause —
Breathe in, breathe out.
Breathe in, breathe out.
It'll be fine.
I will be fine.
I tell myself that as I turn towards the wall,
Draped myself in a thin blanket,
Tears taunting my voice to crack.
I silently cry.
And then I pause.
Slowly but surely, I fall deep, deep, deep,... into a sad but comforting slumber.
