Nightmare

I find myself sitting on the edge of the bed
heart racing , hands shaking
trying to light a cigarette
once again I've woke from a nightmare
that haunts me but I never remember
exactly what it is

It's night's like this that the loneliness
eats away at my soul
what I wouldn't give right now , for a simple
touch of a hand
a voice in the dark telling me everything
is going to be alright

tonight is like last night an the night before
no one but me behind these four walls
I search my memories for a time when
the day's were longer than the nights
an I didn't feel so useless , cold an alone

the need for someone to hold on nights like this
is undeniable
but so is the fear of letting someone get that close again
my heart has been fractured an the pieces shattered
looking like a jigsaw puzzle scattered around

this loneliness takes it's toll on me
one minute at a time
slowly but steadily eating away at any ambitions
of searching out for love
my sanity say's it's insanity to gamble on the odds
of finding true love

crushing out the cigarette I climb under the blanket
hoping this is all part of the nightmare
but I'm not betting on it

Sleep? What the fuck is that?

Sleep? What the fuck is that? That shit is for people who dont care enough about anything. I sleep i think when it knocks me over the head with something while i was busy doing something else. It seems im always wroting cheques my body cannt cash. But nightmares? 24/7 bro 24/7 chance to be a hero in my own crisis ;) hugs and your piecw was  so soulful and gutteral it really made me wish i could have been there for you bro xo


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS    

"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."

Sleep

I hope your dreams are better and your sleep cycle improved. Your craft as a relayer of life-photography has certainly taken a road to refined literature. Don't stop. ~ Bravo!
