Insomnia

By Jewel

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Clearly in my Valium head I recall the one to fall at your touch I was she, tired from my surrender your knife dug deep from friend become foe the biggest pain to encumber a body ending a last holy call towards hope. Its your life in my veins my blood boldly calling upon you, resisting its own resistance so I rest here, I can not listen to your words its far too cold, in my soul I've lost you. We saw the betrayal of a holy man bought by the kiss of judas the putrid bloodshed of the innocent the empty unanswered calls such moments remain buried in your pride beckoning you to your solitude so now explain your anthology, as we, unafraid at a mere thought of being real doubt how love can become nothing when it was always everything yet refuse to ourselves to believe and we see it not wrenched in insomnia too weak to make a stand tired eyes catching the evidence the slaughter of creation by colour of skin, place of birth just where was it that you went.
