Drip Fed On Daydreams
The exhaustion of a lifetime
playing hide and seek
from the ghosts that haunt
and the dark that speaks
Encapsulated in riddles
that do more than they say
but less than is hoped for
with each passing day
But the body is weary
and the mind plays its games
reading more into the nonsense
that others send this way
Life's such a wonder
when it's not such a bore
paying off the pied piper
before he comes back for more
If you seek solace from angels
and speak in the right tongues
you'll fool all the right people
and won't that be fun?
But it won't chase away the darkness
weary to the bone as you are
Dream of a day less brittle
Perhaps beyond the next star
