Wide awake
wide awake
once again
hoping sleep will be my friend
but for now
its late
late at night
my mind too filled to drift away
tricking my eyes to see fairies flying free in the illusions of dancing lights
the tricks show villages,
and battling knights from dueling kingdoms
sadly the melatonin has not taken me yet
because my body is tired
worn out from the day of fighting through fields of sorrow
but my mind is awake
it wants to roam to the corners of my mind
the likes of which I have long forgotten
my mind travels into my imagination and torments me with images of what could have been
and in the midst of my drunken imagination
my heart stings
and loneliness envelops me
the pain stabs my heart
but sometimes I don't want to be a part
of this foolish world
of this painful life
droning on and on
I just want
to
sleep
