• lucid slumber of sadness

    i need you to come now
    and whisper in my ear
    of heartbreak and tragedy
    rap on the walls of my soul
    and shake things up a bit
    wake me, rudely, from
    this lucid slumber of sadness –
    it’s almost morning now
    and there is no time
    in the bright sunshine
    for tears and sorrow
    so come now, quickly,
    before the sun rises
    and fill me up with
    all the agonies i can bear
    so i can wring them out
    and then start anew.
