every night before I close my eyes

murmures of a long forgotten tale

nightmares given a tongue

life you had young

life you put on sale

 

following the pattern i close my eyes

nothing bright to light the night

only murmurs to drown, petrify

life you lost to cry

life with no insights

 

following the pattern i shut my eyes

all those sleepless nights and days

the memories never fail

life of a stray

linving under a veil
