Can't sleep... stare at the ceiling for hours.
Begging for that darkness which eludes me.
Fruitless prayers to your nonexistent god.
Look at the clock again, an hour has passed.
Nothing has changed but the numbers on its apathetic face.
Find no comfort which ever way I turn....
Finding only thoughts to break away the time which ticks....
Ticks....
ticks in my head, though not in my ears.  
Give me a moment of Nothingness....
just long enough to know it was there.
Let me feel the black that flows over you at night....
just one moment to make me know I'm still alive.
Please remove this malignant curse that seems to haunt me day and night.
Protect me from reality for just a little while.
Show me the fantasy of Nothing....
let it wash over me tonight....
Nothing is what I need to continue this life.  
One more waking moment and I'll tear out my eyes.
Nothing is left, but all that's in my mind.

Our scars are the foundation for what we have become

Excellent.

Been in that dark foreboding room many times.

Loved it.

Thanks Seeker.... you're a doll
