Darkness’s shadows fall over me in ghostly disguise <br />In exhaustion I close my blinded eyes <br />Mind’s light flashes photos of life gone by <br />Even in sleep there is no where to hide <br /> <br />Life’s happiness and harsh realities are securely locked away <br />Confusing the thoughts of my desires and relentless dismay <br />In my dreams of fantasy I search for reasoning <br />Still not finding life’s unconscious meaning to be pleasing <br /> <br />I try to see through the suffocating haze <br />Of the silent vague memory’s of long lost days <br />Whether good or bad it is yet to be seen <br />What does all these past life lessons mean <br /> <br />Pressing deeper into the depths of my own demise <br />While listening to the silent warning then ignoring pleading cries <br />My mind is shaken from my dreams of saddened good-byes <br />Do I really want to partake… <br />No!
