I am glamorous in my defeat. <br />Eyes shut tight as I am wrapped in a web of sheets. <br />The widow, closing in, stealing my life in my dreams. <br />Awake, I will not, spun from head to feet. <br />Will not feel, I better let my body rest. <br />My mind attacks my bones and now there is nothing left. <br />Heart falls in love with this widow of death. <br />Lungs pitch black, I have taken too many final breaths. <br />Spin myself, out from, another sleepless night. <br />Drag me, from, the noose into the bright. <br />Or leave me upside down, blood rushing to my eyes. <br />I beg the sun, let the moon, win once, in a peaceful fight.<br /><br />Jessie J.
