I live for the moment before my eyes part
The gentle relief of pain
The absence of memories and sorrow that envelops my existence
The foggy state between slumber and consciousness
Before realization sets in
Where possibilities are limitless
The moment passes
Sleep fades
I grasp onto any shred of peace
But it is taken
Wrenched from my clenched hands
Giving lead to a soulful dread that overcomes my body
It’s over
I have lost again
Even my dreams failed to save me
My limbs have no choice but to wake
I rise to my morning welcome
Ticking away the time until my eyes close again
I.G.
