Open my eyes
Dry with stale tears
It itches
It burns
Lift my hand
Full with desert sand
In the desert of my mind
Long dead wilderness
Without a hope
Or a love
It's so hot here
Still my feet freeze
They'er numb
With a bite to kill
And tounges of hate
The absence
Of night
Here it is always sky full
And the skys won't fall
Always unsettling
Always blue
Cold sickness
Eyes of pain
I roll over in my mind
Roling to escape
Still without escape
And it steals my humanity
Lying here without bird's call
Nor birds to fly
Tell me then
What is a sun that does not move?
What is a sky without cloud or night?
What is a fire that does not burn?
What is a bird without wings?
Or a human without
Love, hope, and freedom?
What is the tea with no company?
Hell
In my mind?
Hell
