Untitled Ii Poem by Josh Burnett

I sleep, I dream, but I'm wide awake.
Looking for some kind of peace.
But I know I'll never find it in this place.
I'm lonely and it's cold.
Watching the failing light
From this empty window.
Such an empty soul
Waiting for a home.
The promises are fulfilled
As the day's time is empty.
And whle I watch time slip
I realize there's nothing left in me.
And I'm too blinded to dream.
I want to be able to trust you
But how can I see through
The mask you put on.
Where were you when I called.
You were gone, now I'm lost.
The darkness of night shields
Me from all of the hurt.
Silently my heart dies.
Building a shell around the beat.
Laying there motionless charred black.
Your leaving was an attack
And I love you was a stab in my back.
