Shadows, Pt. 2


Tired but awake again

because wakefulness is waiting for
my answer
am I ready to embrace 
the disbelief
to refuse the hand that
once could pull me to
my feet

Floating into ache once more

with no morning defense
when the sun broke me like
a cudgel to
the head
stole from me any
last moments for
dreaming

Memory waits still and near for me

I am endlessly choosing I am
at last losing what allowed me to
creep through the hole in the
floor

So tired of attempting

            to end this need for sleeping
