dread of sleep

i have touched a soul hurting
that leaves an ache somewhere
in blatant protest

wish you could feel that touch
that could heal.. could soothe

those infinite moments of raging bitterness
unnamed fears and plaguing demons

surpassing the pain
warring between despair and defeat..

shades of darkness
wooing the dread of sleep..

overcoming this tortured
suppressed agony

hope you feel that lap
silencing the noises within

that lulls you in contented sleep

hugging fiercely the fact
yes, you are safe.. you are..
