A Part Of Me

Sleepless

Wipe the slate clean
Forgive and forget,
Says a white voice from within
Drink down the poisonous thoughts
Filling the empty vessel, that is you
Says another voice, loud and clear

Stop longing
For slumber's dark embrace
And fantasy's true lies
But what am I to do?
When reality turns
His deceptively ordinary back,
Leaving me out in the cold, shivering

Let go of the putrid past,
Pointlessly holding on
Won't do you any good
But what am I to do?
When the only thing
That keeps me afloat
Are the ruins of dark memories
