I go to sleep

When I close my eyes, I don't see you,

Nor do I see them.

I slipped into a warm cocoon of nothing

And nothing can be comforting.


I feel most at ease when I don't speak.

Instead I write my feelings away

And cry when those I love won't stay.

Crying until I don't feel.


And when I read until my eyes burn

And when I eat until my stomach hurts

And when I cough and let my pain escape.


They look at me, sing a dead symphony,

In the darkness of the emptiness it makes sense.

I go to sleep and allow my heart to break.
