Feels Like Forever

Fading into the subterranean dark, I feel lower than nether
Every second of the past is creeping and feels like forever  
Elapsing with recycled time, I'm slowly stopping the clocks  
Leaving my being imprisoned, in the keep of keyless locks  
Sleep tempted me, with a subconscious promise to dream  
Listlessly I drifted though, on an ebbing tide of the unseen  
Insomnia was my burden, before I became time ticking by  
Keeping count of the appalling hours, only stopping to die  
Every moment just a pause, in the pit of a fathomless well  
For in the dreamless wasteland the quietude, is just a cell  
Only memories of a reality, make me think that I'm insane  
Recalling my rationality though, is all a desire now in vain  
Eternity slips by, in awhile, with darkness reforming to fog  
Virtual reality resuming, in turning hands, of time's analog  
Emerging from the night to the light, I rise from the nether  
Remembering nothing, of there, where it feels like forever
