Escaping Reality
February 23, 2010
I lay away,
The minutes
Chasing hours
Falling into days.
I blink away
The blinding
Seconds,
The taunting
Weeks.
Each heart beat,
once again
Pumps blood
To my
Waiting veins.
Each breath
Forming
A tantalizing
Cacophony
Just like the
Ones before.
My fingers
Trace
The folds
Of whispering
Blanket green.
My finger-prints,
Clinging to
Each fiber.
Heavy lids
Hiding from
Me
The roof
Above.
And then I
Drift away
To a sweet
slumber.
