My Peace

Pull the hatred from my bones,
smooth the edges of my bitterness
with the knife
that spreads the honey of my smile;
the one that thins
as the dimness of my eyes begins.
Let the words calm
the twitching of my soul,
restless and heavy,
and grant me the escape I seek,
as my heart lurches
within its cage.
Bring the mercy and calm
of a dark and thoughtless
night.
Peel me away from these feelings
and dreams;
as gone as my strength
within.

    Sleep....

    I was really mad about something that happened the other night and couldn't sleep because of the anger.... and I was so tired. Just wanted to sleep and forget.

    Yes, it usually does. I don't really write because I want to, I write because I have to. It keeps me sane.
