Natasha Ashwe
And my eyes glaze over
Wandering after the sounds of nothingness
The hours of light have come and gone
With no joy
And now I drown in the reign of darkness
Yet the essence of him is alcohol
Laced in my blood
Streaming through the thoughts keeping me awake
And the dreams that I flee from
Where he is god
Wait in line above my pillow
For the devil's sake
The white pieces of night watch this black pawn
Those stars in the cold
Emptying face of the heartless, untouched skies
The cloaked distance waits to unfold at dawn
Whenever it will come
Promising him in its bright, mocking lies
Yet I sit here and stand it all
And the world blurs
Slipping away into all the time it takes
For the warmth and comfort of the sun
To shine upon
The field of misery where my heart breaks.
