Days end draws near
Night time beckons
Bitter tasting fear
Rises inside again

Darkness now falls
Locked inside
Four white walls
Need room to breathe

Freedom from the past
Peaceful sleep
Thats all I ask
Demons haunt me still

Voices call my name
Awake, eyes closed
Still its the same
Hours pass, dawn comes

Stumble through day
Sleep tonight
That's all I pray
Body numb, mind hazy

Suns setting again
Tossing, turning
Will this cycle ever end
Still voices come

    And I lie awake....listening.

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

hmmm...you have been in a down mood lately..hope everything is ok..but, I must admit, I write best when things are not going well too..this is a very good piece..

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

...and speaking of down moods... I can really relate to this.. being in a down mood myself. It amazes me how many of us are having the same feelings about things in our lives, and the many differnt ways we express it... this poem was lovely.

I personally do not suffer with "demons" that keep me awake... but I know people who do, and you have described what I have been told to a T... very moving, almost "haunting". Nice. I liked it.

oh, yes--haunted nights that slowly wind into day. You well captured the feeling.

It's been a long time Angel...  I love this piece of work!  You know how to describe our world exquisitly (sp)!  I too linger here.  I'm glad you let this out, and don't worry...you are not alone!  *hugs*
