The more I try
The more it eludes
The more I avoid
I'm swept by the deluge
Of scenes random
And recurrent
From distant past
Elapsed present
My eyes twitch
Incessantly cranked
Between, what was
And what should have been
Running circles around
Pretense I’ve lived
And lies I’ve told
Contemplating enough
Future yet to unfold
A futile and burdening curse
I hoped for 11 but it’s already 3
And I’m still fighting
To not see another dawn
I wait to be empty
And blanked
Your absence
Makes me unsettled
Over dark moons
Dear sleep, I implore you
Enough games played
And now I'm tired too
