Sleepless Dreams
Updated: Jul 18, 2019
Hurt by failure
Betrayed by hope
Discouraged by disappointment
Paralyzed by insecurity
I stand bemused
My dreams, staring back
Wondering when
Begging for a home
Each minute, slipping away
Like the wind, I cannot catch it
Like space, I cannot contain it
Like breath, I cannot buy it
I stand bemused
My dreams, staring back
Wondering when
Begging for a home
Lack has become my alibi
Giving up, my refuge
Loneliness, my only comfort
Yet, the eyes of my soul refuse to close
Now
I lay powerless
Before the torments
Of my sleepless dreams.
