Sleep

screencap from 'Inuyasha'

once, you were peace amongst the chaos

reprieve from the war 

escaping the death outside,

a moment to catch my breath

and open up my heart

to a world of reverie

now, i dread you

solace turned to danger 

grinding bones and shaking ribcages 

hollow memories, implanted ones 

i lie awake until the dawn

sundering a silent tear for 

the dreamless state before the storm 

i only wish to end you sooner

ply the stream with cocktails
of narcotics and opium

limbs become painfully heavy,

and reminisce of those once tranquil nights

in times since long gone.
