Back into sleep

Oh it�s finally silent in my head
Echoes have lulled themselves to sleep
Alone, I can clear my thoughts
Hear my thoughts
And silently kill them
One by one
Till all are dead
And buried inside some
Coffin made of weights
Of my guilt weighed in sin

I can move about and fear no voices
No whispered threats of forgotten
Memories lying in wait
Like a stalking tigress on the prowl
To kill my first mis-step of memory
I stretch into my skin once again
And push the under things of her out
Let her clean up her mess of
What haves and could haves and
Might we make amends someday?

I will sit still in the stillness of me
And I will think no thoughts that
Do not come gently in surrender
I will not engage war or war
Against myself tonight
All will be silent like the dead
Who are busy looking for some string
To untie to come to life once again
Their intentions and concentrations
Focused on a task so dull
It dares to rival any dead thing thinking

Tonight I will neither avoid me
Or void me in some pathetic
And frantic excuse to escape me
I will sit patiently and wait
For her to whimper back

And I will silent her
As I silence myself

Back into the sleep
