sleepless elite

ancient have i been
ancient shall i be
the whisper between wake
and dream
the shadow between night
and day
a moment's pause between
wrong and right
i bala nce the scale against
dark and light
i am reason against fury
i am vengeance over fear
addiction's silent scream
the echo of a heartbeat
i am the truth amongst the lies
the key that sets you free
the hope inside your demise

ashes from smoke-damaged
memories
pictures that will never see the past true,  or mellow the homesick soul....
