A shard of light penetrates the blackness in this room.

Broken glass,

Reflecting.

Nature, it seems has left this place,

No peace can be found without the possibility of blood.

A slip in the mind,

Falling on the rocks of unobtainable desires.

We lie, motionless in the sea of darkness awaiting sleep.

I still lie here,

Waiting for the dreams to stop.

Poisonous awakenings,

The days are covered in grey blankets.

Suffocating,

Smothering.

A shard of light penetrates the blackness in this room.

Broken glass,

Reflecting.

Sleeping with my eyes open I listen to the noise down on the streets.

I could be anywhere really,

But I am not.

Riddles in the dark,

Shadows moving in the corners of your eyes.

I watch the dark slowly creep over the buildings, push its way under my skin

and over my eyes.

I await the day,

I pray for sleep.
