SLEEP

14 2 2
                                    

My heart humms in the cavern of my chest
Murmurs weakly in protest
Adrenaline creates a fragile nest
Of interlocking overworked frayed nerves

In it rests

My eyes blink and time is frozen
In the nothingness I am limitless
But they always open and I am forced to see
The jumbled mess that's become me

In me, unrest

I yearn to share my petty troubles
With an understanding soul
But all souls are not spotless
And the cap to the grease is loose

In all things unrest and rest

I sleep, my eyes wide open
In dreams I search and some are confused
But dreams can be the truest lies

And the grease explodes in a grand display
