In
this darkness before the dawn
The silence is deafening
Wake
me from this dream
I
know it is not a dream
I
cannot sleep again
The
clock chimes midnight
I
am thirsty
It
is so dark
Do
you know
How
torturous is
Every
tick of the clock
In
the dead of night?
I
want sleep to carry me away
From
my anguished thoughts and fears
And
the one place I have hidden away
Deep
inside my mind
That
is where it wanders tonight
And
I cannot stop
I
cannot stop
Give
me relief from this dark night
Tell
me dawn will break soon
I
want this winter night to end
Please,
please end
In
the glowing hope of sunrise
I
want to fall asleep again
I
want to sleep until the break of dawn
When
the dark of night
Fades
away
I
hope it will drag with it
These feelings
This...this, wow, Jess this is fantastic! I don't often say this, but I really, really relate. I am in NO way a stranger to the seemingly endless sleepless hours that come some nights. This beautifully and accurately captured that feeling of lying awake in the darkness. Well done. :)
ReplyDeleteIn other people's writing, I can tell if they've described something or captured a feeling well, but for some reason in my own I can't really tell... So thank you! :D
DeleteNights like that are just awful... :/
