Unrequited Love for No One in Particular

A Brief Sunrise

It's been a long time since I rested
It's been months since I last deeply slept
From my grip my life has been wrested
And control I have clearly not kept

I've been knee-deep in puddles for weeks
And even if I like the rain,
It's worn me down to be meek
And I've decided I don't like the pain

But a noose seems to be untied now
From around my neck at the nape
The puddles have all been dried now
Or maybe I've managed to escape

I don't know where I've arrived
But it's surely quiet and peaceful
I don't know how I survived
But I surely had no help from evil

The sky is unnaturally blue
The clouds have just gone away
This place is too good to be true
I know it's not going to stay

I think and furrow my brow
Through my mind the truth shall lead
I'm at a peak before a trough
The devil approaches with speed

There's darkness on the horizon
There's darkness in the past
But it's light that I've set my eyes on
So I'll enjoy that light while it lasts
