We

“We”

We live together

And we move through each other.

We love together

So we pass each other by.

Woe are we just to say hi.

Insomniac

“Insomniac”

The night is hollow as the day.

I’m buried in my consciousness;

No sleep to dream nor work to play.

Enough space for the demons, they

Laugh and cry at my loneliness.

The night is hollow as the day.

They keep my hands, my eyes at bay;

Inside the dark I am remiss.

No sleep to dream nor work to play.

Grabbing at strands of thoughts, they say

“Look at you! and your worthlessness!”

The night is hollow as the day.

Thoughts, oh, demons mine: go. away.

“Look at you! oh so much distress!”

No sleep to dream nor work to play.

The sun is out, its morning rays

Part the veil of my weary rest.

Night is hollow throughout the day.

I sleep and dream and work and play.
