Restless

(Image courtesy: throughtg.wordpress.com)

Restless thoughts, come and go
Fear of light, bright and yellow

Unmade beds, sunken pillows
Each day my loneliness grows

Summer memories, Winter rain
Wrinkled mirror, wringing pain

Creaky doors, stained windows
Starving nights, devouring shadows

Eternal wait, living endless lives
Stabbing stakes, cutting knives

Salvation was once my only dream
In your hazel eyes, I saw it gleam

Blooming grasses, blueberries ripe,
Glowing sun, a wonderful life

Can it be easier to forget?
Longing for things we can never get

Exiled existence, sheltering curse
Soulless wound, I still nurse

Standing toes, resting heels
No escaping the spinning wheel

One cycle ends, another begins
Crawling skin, the teeth sinks in 

Soon the day ends, darkness shines
Breaking thoughts, crossing lines
