I CANNOT SLEEP, SOMETHING’S OUT THERE
by Rïén Kelso

Stitch my eyes,
Make them be sown.
I don’t want to see,
I don’t want to be awake.

My consciousness is slipping,
Attention is fading.
Details becoming more in depth,
But distorted eyes see them as hallucinations.

I want to go back,
To that place again.
The land where love has a home,
And death kindly lets you in.

Afraid to rest,
Without ever waking up.
More in tune,
With the earth and what lives beneath.

Close my eyes one last time,
Before I slip away.
Caress my forehead,
While you lay me to sleep.

Lost on travels,
Far and wide.
There’s no hope,
For the path has gone away.

The time has come,
For you to relinquish all control.
Might endure,
Your belief to end it all.

Cannot focus,
On anything anymore.
The drugs are working,
Again I’ll see you once more.

Again in slumber,
Your defeat was a mistake.
Dreamlike thieves,
Your memories they will take.

For days, I’m tired,
And want to go home.
But no one ever could,
We forgot the way.

I’ll knock to the floor,
Falling over every step.
It is useless,
I cannot see beyond my own feet.

So beautiful and dangerous,
Heaven must be.
But seduction never lies,
As my demons lead me astray.

Ive had a personal experience in which this reminds me of. My interpretation is someone on their death bed whose terrified of dying yet eager to leave. To me this portrays the roads between life/death and heaven/earth/hell.
