I close my eyes and for a moment it is silent
i lay and wait for the darkeness to take me
my body is apprehensive and impatient
advocated by my stubborn mind
shadows of the past flood over me
demanding my undivided attention
scattered across my conscience
fighting away any chance of sleep
distant memories echoing in my mind
playing scenarios of what if and why
prompting me with emotional reminders
of what ive already lived before
disturbed by the eternal melody
hiding in a remote corner of my conscienceness
mischevious and barey audible
amongst the incessant rumbling of my mind
my wandering mind settles slighty
teasing me with empty promises of peace
until it ignites worse than before
escaping dormancy once again
attempting reconciliation with my restless mind
i entertain the thoughts that haunt me
searching desperately for some closure
and my once shouting mind begins to whisper
i feel myself slipping into a deep slumber
as i take back control of my wayward mind
escaping the memories that plague me
only to succumb to the onset of relentless dreams
