Sleepless Revelations

A Beautiful Disaster

The news has said it's getting better,
But who on Earth believes in it?
Now, when all dreams are bound to shatter,
I laugh at such a lame deceit.

And I don't care this place is dying
Beneath my own fallen sky.
It is your life that I'm denying,
As you have taken mine awry.

I tell myself that spring is near,
But April never comes alone.
It takes me back to vanished years,
It brings the memories, once gone.

My hopes are buried in despair,
As sleeplessness has made me think.
And thoughts do always lead right where
The truth is dwelling. Chances shrink.

I've drawn a land of endless silence,
But certainly, I've failed to flee.
This place of never-ending violence
Will kill me, won't lose touch with me.

The laws of heart are my salvation,
Yet I can never get enough
Of unforgettable sensations.
I'm still alive just due to love.

Although this is a lovely poem, I gotta say that I'm now pretty depressed - lol.

That last line is a kick in the head. What is it they say... "Love conquers all."

"We'll chase them like rats across the tundra."

Thank you all for replying.
Yes, it's quite depressing, but these lines are just my feelings written down.

This is bleak, but uplifting in the end as there's always that glimmer of hope.
Even if we never see it.
