Between the Lines

Until Dawn

Intentions are no longer the best,
as nightmares take over the days
and thoughts go on tour
leaving me behind these empty walls
filled with the groanings of old.

Juggling the impossible
to attain the improbable
has seasoned the chords in me.
My fibers becoming twisted
connecting me to the darkness
and the silence of each moment.

Dreading the next, I wander this empty
pretending to share and wondering why I don't.
My world turns a prayer to song,
a song to a lullaby, and a lullaby to a softness
that leaves me thought-tied
until dawn.
