A Quatern
A chapter in the book Tales Of Darkness And Light
In Light Of Day
by The Death
|
Sometimes, in light of day, I feel an urge to dig my hidden fears from graves inside my barren heart, now left too cold for hopes to thrive. The sound of time, I can't resist... sometimes. In light of day, I feel like screaming at my shadows that are meant to trace my silent breaths. As sunshine casts a lucid world, my eyes are lost in dreaming dark; sometimes, in light of day. I feel like shutting them, so as to sleep. The day's a drag, night seems a null; across its stretch, I lie and lie to make my numbing self believe-- sometimes, in light of day...I feel. |
