In the darkness, I don't sleep.
February 11, 2010
I don't sleep in the dark, I only lay.
I like the dark, its peaceful and my eyes are
deaf to the darkness that is surrounding me.
The only sounds I hear is my soft breathing as I pretend
to sleep and dream and the heavy thud against my chest
as it increases with every sudden move that quickly
awakens me. I also hear the voices of the people
in my dreams as I lay staring into the darkness.
I'm almost asleep when i lay in the darkness, but
I don't sleep- just listen and pretend.
