I Need Some Sleep

I'm not sure how long I've been like this... or how long it will last.

I lay face up on the floor. My gaze is fixated on the ceiling.
There are no lights, no sounds...
nothing.
Just this empty darkness and echoing silence that consumes me.
I feel my heart convulse as it pumps blood through my veins.
I feel my brain burn as it produces another empty thought.
I feel my soul slither inside my hollow shell I use for a body.

I feel so empty.

I keep wondering if this is a dream...
perhaps my whole life has been a dream up to this moment,
now I'm finally about to wake up....
It doesn't feel like a dream. If this was a dream,  
I would have died by now.
Maybe that's what is happening...

My eyes burn... my mind screams for rest... every cell in my body aches.
I am numb again.
I feel so fucking tired.

The warmth of the sun shines through my window and onto my frozen body.
The darkness slowly dies off,
but the silence...

It never leaves.



Everything starts to fade away...
