Sleep

 

Eventually

In the wee hours

The day ends

And I go in search of slumber

Like a condemned man

 

My dreams are my prison

Worse than any nightmare

Reminding me of memories

That roam free in my mind

But hold me captive

 

Dawn approaches

And the visitors leave a barren cell

I breakfast on regret and bitterness

For the fading traces of a life long since past

 

But not forgotten
