It is a stranger to me now <br />how time loses its wonder <br />the vaule of the rain <br />oh the sadness of these years <br />tranquil to silence <br />since the power to hold on <br />is wearing thin <br />let the rain pour <br />i need to feel each drop <br />soak through to my core <br />to my soul <br />i want to awaken once more <br />entranced in numbness <br />walking through the streets a ghost <br />i want to feel the fears of a nightmare <br />to endure the pleasure of a dream <br />blank stares carry on <br />time still stirring <br />going by so fast, so slow <br />with each ignored beat of my heart <br />keep falling drops <br />stay crying sky above me <br />for someone needs to succumb to tears <br />instead of the emptiness i am <br />breaking away to nothing <br />all dressed up for sleep <br />for i have been sleeping for years <br />and now i can succumb to the skies tears<br /><br />Leah Ayliffe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sleeping-beauty-11/
