SOMNOLENT

SOMNOLENT

White sheet,

My precarious protection…..

I draw you around me.

I sit within your chalky white ring

As your numbness is my allowance

For emotions that are thoroughly spent.

My alleviation, from crushing thoughts

That trouble me in this crumbling sleep.

But you will be diminished and washed away

With the tide of time

And so, I watch for them…..

They are waiting for that moment,

Watching me with glassy black eyes.

They have come for me,

Now that I have no champion.......

They have come,

For the wounded animal

That wandered off alone,

And your thin white line…..

Cannot stop them.

this reminds me of dreams i have. this is both terrifying and inevitable. i like this.

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
