Where To?

Couldn’t sleep tonight
So wept instead,
Hoping to drown
The memories in my head

Four in the morning
Sleep still won’t come,
Laying with aching eyes
And a chest that’s hollow and numb

Pull open the cover
White and ink on a page
Accepting of words,
Tapping out all of my rage

Six in the morning
Tired and spent
Writing for hours
Yet the memories refuse to relent

Six thirty and violent
I just want some peace,
A refuge of sorts
That doesn’t require a lease

Seven and bankrupt
Emotion all cleared
Eyes finally heavy
Only to find nightmares I’ve feared

So which do I go to,
The darkness of sleep
Or the haunting of wakefulness
Where my memories keep?
