Slumber,
where have you gone?
Angst has come to besiege me in your absence‐
Why have you left me under the weight of such a hopeless presence?
Why have you let Agony take your place?...
leaving me at the mercy of such a foe
under who's watch my eyes are not permitted to close,
in a house in which the lights do not turn off‐
This is no home...
why have you led me here?
Slumber
So you can desert me?...
Surely I'm wrong in such thinking...
But your actions
or rather
your absence
says otherwise.
Oh Slumber,
why have you left me?...
tossing and turning in turmoil and torment,
threading together these, Tales of Torment simply to survive the night‐
Slumber
I'm not so sure I can tolerate this abandonment,
the sands of time, you've twisted into torture
in the moonlight, you've built my cell
and the very breaths of life you made unbearable‐
My eyes may close, but
why won't you let my mind?
Slumber
You've turned your face from me,
rivers burn their tracks on mine-
At the sight of your back, I wish for everything to simply turn black,
That my eyes may close, permanently...
That the lights in my mind may turn off, never to be on again...
That this aching heart may experience its last beat...
Never, to be in your absence again–

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
