Nightly Lullaby
  All it is these days is hurt.
  Hurt day in, day out,
  Weekday, weekend,
  And it won’t stop,
  Nor is it seen ever in the future
  That it will fade,
  Fade away back
  To where I once was.
  Time always slows down
  To a crawl, finding my way
  Into something new, something old,
  And something just plain confusing
  Down straight annoying that
  Bothers me until I’m laying in the corner,
  Back to my dresser as I stare up towards
  The ceiling painted with soft ambers and gold.
  And I sit there.
  Sat there until the night peaks,
  Rain tapping against my windows
  While the broken laughters play outside the hall.
  Conflicting sides unfold,
  A torn heart,
  Mind,
  Beaten soul
  Dimmed to the light of the lamp in front of me,
  Pulsing with defeat, wanting to take one more stand,
  But downed,
  Drowned in its tears of loss.
  The coldest thing, those eyes.
  The eyes that stared back, wild, crazy, but fed
  With exhaust and depression, left alone in the
  Darkest of times, in this world of life,
alone.
