Once again, I can’t sleep

Tally my dead, you count your sheep

Why do I care, no escape in dreams

I should know by now



I’m so tired, getting old

Friends are ash or decomposed

Memories choke me with pain

What is, what might have been



Once filled with heaven, now empty as hell

All the myths have been dispelled

The sun refuses to shine

Light is for youth, darkness mine



I feel I can’t I go on

I admit, love is gone

Everything and everyone

So far behind me…

Consider the gathering clouds

Remember a mountain, now weathered down

Don’t waste tears on desolate ground

You should know by now
