Literature Text

The soft embrace of caffeine no longer soothes this;
we've lost the sense of reason we once felt we used to know.

Hidden deep inside this pit of carelessness
we've buried quick glances, quiet meanings and usefulness -
things that, when carried close, kept us bound to this place.

We've stolen sounds from the music that moved us
and wept into the night for the times
when night blended with painted skylines,
whispered morning and finality of day.

Careful now, harsh lights caress the shaken blankets.
Lack of sleep now dances through our minds;
our hearts sweep silence aside.
