Sleepless nights, edged with pain,
A sugar coated, glitter-rain
Where life’s horizon’s never keep
Beyond the sight that renders sleep.
For never ending, never joy
Its tears immortal to employ
To watch the mighty raise and fall
With destiny’s gloom amongst them all.
And here I lie, or sit, forlorn
My spirit, shredded, tattered, torn
With every failure, sleep to gain
When ravaged by tormented pain.
Gut ended, pretended, no future clear
For any that are brought to here
With little more than hope issued,
And tiny magic pills pursued.
With our final, ending never-mores
We cast our dreams o’er shadow’s floors.
