Fatigue

By wanderingpoet

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My bones ache with fatigue My soul creaks with ache But what kind of sleep do I need? Do the thrice hours of rest do me in night after night? Or does the cold stone wall affect my soul? Does the uncomforting shape of my mattress hold my answers? Or is my pain lying else where Why are my eyes still open? In many ways, Eyes Closed Shut Developing false switches to emotion Turning around and thinking of no feeling. There is no real switch to emotion You can say one thing, Do another I think really all you can do is hope you don’t feel. I am tired right now Emotionally? Physically? Both and Neither in equal and extraneous parts… Violent words nary enter my head Harsh tones lay fleeting in the wind While I sit here, staring at the blank walls of my existence I simply feel Tired Empty, Cold, holding it off Please, Lord, Let me feel tomorrow I can only take so much these days… Written April 9th, 2002 © on Apr 09 2002 05:06 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
