untitled

i am humming a wordless lullabye
as i drown in sadness yet again
slumber has escaped me
as the night faces its end

what lies beyond the daybreak
i may never find at once
not until my wound has healed
through Time's stolen glance

try as i may to hold onto myself
and save my shattered soul
i have yet to conquer hopelessness
and lean on Faith to keep me whole

i am on the outside looking in
with the eyes of a lifeless woman
a lonesome creature i wish not to see
but whom i have sordidly become
