What does it say

What does it say

To you

The deepening ache

An ever present whisper

Of uncertain origin

The tear that falls

Unbidden

The stain of salt

On a pillow

The shadow in the corner

An imaginary friend

Always out of reach

The slow disintegration

The degradation

Of a broken heart

Beyond repair

Too many stitches

Have been undone

The wretched ease

Of tranquility

When the rage

Subsides

And the dust settles

On your eyelids

Sleep is an enemy

Of truth

Believing its lies

Is naivety

But wisdom is

Too late a hero

When nightmares

Are part and parcel

Of disease
