sleep

I just want to sleep, to sleep and wake in another world.

The clouds separate my mind and my heart.

The sun burns my subtle, silent moon.

I just want to sleep, to sleep and dream of me there in that place.

The oceans separate my head from my limbs as I try to swim home.

The salt stings my open eyes as I go deeper below the waves.

I just need to sleep so I can bare, bare this weight.

A thousand years cannot erase the guilt I wear beneath these clothes.

A million lifetimes cannot erode away this scar etched within me.

No sin greater than that which I committed.

No change can alter the past, no distance can put space from me and that.

I need to sleep, I need to sleep it all away so that I can at least continue walking another day.

Half life here, half life there, I am unable to be fully awake.
