Sleepless

A grey cloud like a flag from despair hangs over my head.

Sleepless,

Going about my day with my face pale as wax,

Fatigued, confused, angered by my past reflection,

Hand icily cold, crumbling like a fairy dream,

Broken, like some great river's ice at the touch of spring,

Sleepless,

Alone, like a storm tossed-wreck.

Feeling unconscious to life like steel.

Dreaming awake to fall asleep,

As slumber falls on the eyes of a tired child.

Sleepless,

Because I'm still accepting that she's gone away,

Feeling,

As stars that flashes with the sun,

Breathing, as a sea disturbed by a violent wind.

Sleepless,

For my love upon love upon love in her was packed,

Now gone,

Despair replaces the cloud I've lost.
