Sleep

Sleep

I do not sleep
As thoughts dance behind my eyes
And I cannot sleep
For the voices of doubt cloud my mind
Questioning choices I've made and truths I've told

I will not sleep
For when I close my eyes, I see only you
Smiling so seductive, I can't help but succumb to your demands
And I can't recall when I became this weak and easy
So I dare not sleep
For nothing awaits me but an emotional crippling
That will push me into the black flames of Mordor

The burning brings forth an awkward sensuality
And I wonder what Frued would make of that
Avoiding the subconscious with a delicate balance
Of caffeine and codeine
I pray the dawn comes quickly

Tired of fighting, the darkness eventually devours
It's touch too sweet too ignore
It's cool embrace more comforting than any lover
And I find myself again on the edge of Mount Doom
Pleasuring you one last time before I descend into madness
Your precious returns to the flame of life
Only to rise from the ashes once the sun eclipses the midnight moon
