Dreary Sleeper

Orange bricks spit out the pastel night

Flowing through the rough edges like an old man's raspy scream

And the frigid moon is strapped out of sight

By cloudy skies and darkened eyes lost in a drunken dream

Cold wind devoured by a moistened cave

A cage like structure where a poor soul sits and contemplates

A mouth that is sentenced to never say

Only hums out of mended lips, known as moments left to fate

His midnight eyes have seen far beyond these walls of marrow

Of concrete caverns where fears are dealt with the ripple of a reflection

And curtains of flesh draped down to hide him from sorrow

And to where breaths shared amount to more than just fatal attraction

But in this place he lays down his aching bones

And plants all the breaths and time he has yet to know

And though in this place only an impression of restriction is shown

He drags his weary remains into this tomb he'd like to call his home
