Let Me Sleep
By WarTorn
Dry winded fires of seduction, ocular hypnotic motion
Eye movement rapid, wide open commotion
Conjunctiva drought, arid, emotion undiscovered
Shape shifting dreamscape beyond attainable
Amnesia tainted rustling, a paranoid pawn
Compulsive indecision hidden where shades are tightly drawn
Rhetorical mind raped riddles gesture tales of restful night
Shadows waltz the hours outdoors in pale moon light
A circadian rhythm tapping, unending tease dormant
A white noise seduction, fatigue permanent
Melatonin sight fog hazed, a caffeine battle bled
A nocturnal death race towards silk laden bed
Head nodding strobe trance, a corneal glaze
A dawn breaking sun stream strips all hope away
A coffee drip pin prick, steady in its speed
My god I’m begging
Please
Let me…
