Where Have You Gone? II

Slumber,

where have you gone?

Angst has come to besiege me in your absence‐

Why have you left me under the weight of such a hopeless presence?

Why have you let Agony take your place?...

leaving me at the mercy of such a foe

under who's watch my eyes are not permitted to close,

in a house in which the lights do not turn off‐

This is no home...

why have you led me here?

Slumber

So you can desert me?...

Surely I'm wrong in such thinking...

But your actions

or rather

your absence

says otherwise.

Oh Slumber,

why have you left me?...

tossing and turning in turmoil and torment,

threading together these, Tales of Torment simply to survive the night‐

Slumber

I'm not so sure I can tolerate this abandonment,

the sands of time, you've twisted into torture

in the moonlight, you've built my cell

and the very breaths of life you made unbearable‐

My eyes may close, but

why won't you let my mind?

Slumber

You've turned your face from me,

rivers burn their tracks on mine-

At the sight of your back, I wish for everything to simply turn black,

That my eyes may close, permanently...

That the lights in my mind may turn off, never to be on again...

That this aching heart may experience its last beat...

Never, to be in your absence again–
