Quiet

1st of May, 2013.

Quiet nestles in
like brethren
when the lights go out
and I can't see,
but I still think about
the troubles all around me

Tightly closed blinds
keep out the moonlight
and I long for it,
but my mind doesn't seem
to want what which could be right

Sleep will come, it'll come,
it'll sneak in and take me
and I'll breathe
normally
for the first time today

I'll pray to no god for
my sanity
and do my best to overcome
vanity as it is
taking over me

Good night, good night
Sleep well and sweet dreams
'til the morning wraps
its chill arms around me,
and you realize my heart is more
broken than it seems.
