shadows drifting
eyes blinking
heart thumping
night falls in

restless mind
jumbled thoughts
out of breath
floating outside

stranger to my own body
clinging to moments long gone

my now, neither today nor tomorrow
caught in the limbo of endless yesterdays

crumpled sheets, slit wrists
i laugh
empty bottle, soaked pillow
i cry

hollow eyes, empty gaze
staring at the orange sky

the end of night, start of a day
clock ticking, blood drying

another day spared to live
another yesterday to remember by
