The days pass with wasted time;
Life measured away by clocks.
I stand alone in my dark hours,
As night calls me to sleep,
Breaking my dreams into nothingness.

The sun shatters the abyss at the dawn.
My wounds now half healed for the day,
To await the strike of the blade;
The struggle weakens my resolve,
Yet the sunshine wakens my spirit.

The nights are long, so very long;
I wait for the morning to come,
I push back against sleep at dawn
I could only halt my wake,
if sunshine did not peak.
