Wide - Awake

The midnight blue sky
And thousands of jewels shining
Yet my heart earns for someone
With whom my midnight conversations will be

Eyes wide awake
Soft lullaby lulling the tired eyes
The dark circle even more prominent
But the brain doesn't heed to the tired voice
The atmosphere being so caliginous

The restless nights make me shiver
Like the fear in a deserted road
Far and deep
The darkness of the mind mocks
How tenebrous life is
How lonely broken promises are
And so many in life greet the loneliest
Only to be lead astray

Dark dark thoughts
Lead the nights
And finally the eye shuts
Blocking everything – wanted and unwanted

And the eyes open infinite times
In a deep despair to remember
The incubus haunting
But they have taken shelter again
In the depth of the darkest shadows
Waiting for the eyes to close

When morn comes
The conspicuous eye bags
Reveal yet another night
Haunted by the incubus

And what hurts is
No one wanders why or how
And no one cares to know
The what either...
