Have you ever laid in bed at night
Eyes heavy with the weight of the day
And tried to sleep
Really sleep
But nothing will quiet the incessant rushing
And whirring of the world at full spin.
The pulse of the vacant throng of your room, your bed.
You close your eyes to a cacophony of internal noises
BABUM! BABUM! BABUM!
Your heart beats out of rhythm with the rest of the human
race
You blink a sand storm into your brain
Winds howl and rain pounds
And you lie there
Eyes scrunched up to the night
You lie there and think,
Why is this emptiness so loud?
Why are my bones creaking and my heart
Heavy and loud as steel?
Why can’t I just sleep?
You are weighty and slumping into the chasm
The gap in consciousness, in knowing.
And tomorrow is just a flicker of an eyelid away,
It always never more than a flicker away
And you drift
Down
Deep
Underneath a blanket of Cimmerian shade.
