Never Enough

For centuries unfelt I was ofttimes lonesome

Dolls within reach, alive, they have become

I buried sleep deep under the darkness of myriad nights.

But oh my nights! not dark enough, you lost all might

I bided my time, eying the moon to beam blue

But oh my sadness! You did not glow far enough to reach the moon

Might I be found some lost day soon?

If only logic could personate me for a single moment

At the fear of it not resembling logic anymore, my wonder felt abandonment

Might I love my feelings enough to put them to sleep?

I lost sight of all reasons gravely gone with the waves of the deep

If only the silence of night calls me loud enough

To awaken my luster, for too long I have been a diamond in the rough.
