Inkblack Insomnia

You crawl beneath my skin again, Right when the daylight disappears. You sit beside my quiet bed, And whisper all my oldest fears. I'm counting cracks across the ceiling, Watching hours turn into smoke. Every breath feels borrowed from me, Every promise slowly broke. Why won't you let me disappear? Just for one peaceful dream... One silent night... You're stealing time I can't replace, A ghost that never leaves this place. You lock my mind inside this glass, Then watch the endless hours pass. You won't shut down the EQs tonight, Every frequency burns white. I beg for sleep... you just remain... Ink-black whisper in my veins. My fingers curl into the sheets, Trying hard to hold on tight. My eyes keep trembling, spilling over, Drowning colors in the night. The magenta slowly disappears, Swallowed by familiar blue. PTSD has learned my language... Now it sings along with you. I don't fear the dark anymore... I fear the morning... Because I'll still be awake. You're stealing moments I can't borrow, Trading every dawn for sorrow. Every heartbeat counts the hours, Every memory loses power. Leave my ceiling... Leave my mind... Leave the songs I'm trying to find. Give me one unbroken night... Before you take another life...
