My eyes are open.

I am not awake.
At least, I don't believe
That I could be awake
And feel nothing.

I feel nothing.

My bed is bathed
In sunlight,
The source of life.
Birds sing.

I don't want to move.

The call of a world
Too intense for me
To answer right now.
Please leave a message.

*beep*

I wish that I could
Answer your call
Your questions of me.
I can't explain...

Not even to myself.

And so, I will lie here
And pay for my mistakes.
And I hope that you
Will smile again.
...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    Been trying to figure out what, if anything, to write on here about this poem. Although about 8 million things come to mind, all I'll say is it made me cry. Shocking, huh?
    There was a whole inside his soul a manicure couldn't fill. So he found himself a whore to love while daisies choked in the windowsill. *JK*
