Can they go a week without causing pain?
A week with a little stab somewhere?
I'm so sick of trying to work it out,
So sick of feeling poorly and in doubt.

Sarcasm, stabbing, emotional torture,
Invasion of privacy the new order,
My heart lies over the border,
Where love resides as it oughta.

The music's wrong,
Can't find any depth can you?
The soul is dead don't you see?
Nothing worth saving in you.

The demon has won,
He has his way,
Never again you will see,
Beauty in the light of day.

Red, orange tinged world,
I long for the blue,
Of peace and happiness,
A perfect hue.

It is and was and never will be,
It is gone,
Will it return?
Or will the heart remain pale and wan?

How can we play?
How can we smile again?
Monstrous sleep walker,
Don't want you to awaken again.


 The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.

Verse 5 is my very favorite!

 Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

Truly a great poem dear, and I have to agree with Medusa that this sleepwalker does sound much like society.

 If all who are born are ment to die, I should not have been born, for I will never die.
