Asleep

Asleep

A Poem by SilentVerses
"

From the depths of stagnation we still have slumbering beasts

"

I am tired, 

and so is he. 

I am tired, and for a moment I can’t tell 

but then I realise, 

…no I know. 

It’s a she. 


I am tired, 

and they’re lying.

I know you don’t know,

but I do, 

those lies are awful


if you aren’t careful

they will set your mouth on fire. 

Blasphemous confidence: a liar,

heaped upon the floor. 

Because when they hurt you


you just want more. 

You know you crave it,

one more hit

pipe, blade, pill- s**t,

where’s that first aid kit. 


Now the clock is ticking, 

the beast’s tongue: clicking. 

Just finish this dirty f*****g fling, 

oh and please,

please hush darling.


Those moans, 

those darkened twisted bones: 

they don’t fit in the oven,

so we will have to throw you 

on the stones.


I am tired, so tired

so lets get these stones to the fire

the bones: (will) take flames higher. 

Burning bridges: take this blood and

forge a burning desire. 


I am tired, and so are we, 

a thousand and one voices

burning a chasm deep beneath.

She is he, is we from me. 

So deep and hush, lets fall asleep.
