Insomnia

Sleepless nights
The moon beams loveless
An empty ache within
lost in a realm unseen

Softly it kills
Swiftly it finishes
Consistent and nightly
Sweet dreams diminishes

Clouds of shadows
hide the sparkle in my eyes
dilated pupils in the dark
silently eaten apart

At home yet haunted
with past after past
I often offered love rejected
I am worn out at last

Admired but unaccepted
Too much yet never enough
Wanted but unworthy of commitment
Embraced yet soon given up

No rest and no restlessness
breathing the numbing darkness
These are my consequences
my scars and secret wars

Sleepless beauty
damsel in distress
bound upon a tower
My heart and I
both longing for slumber,
