Take Me

By Rizwin

My thoughts, your yarn, take them away

Spin me a beautiful dream

They scratch, they scream, be night or day,

Calm though I may seem

Take me to worlds far far away 

For no night sees me smile 

Neither has a single day 

Seen sunshine in a while

The silence roars

And sadness, it tends to cling 

Darkness, comes crawling on all fours 

Help me, take me away, make me feel nothing. 

Let me drift off into a dreamless void 

Into your vast nothingness let me sink.

My will is being destroyed, 

And I'm standing on the brink.

Take away my senses 

Enough tears I've bled 

Don't tell me to be strong, to put up defenses 

Just take me away instead 

I can't take this anymore

Let the darkness be my light

Let me jump, let me fly, let me soar 

Let emptiness kiss me goodnight 

The sound of silence is deafening 

and loneliness sings her tune 

My thoughts, maddening 

Kill me now, kiss me awake at noon.

Engulf me in the cocoon that is night 

Give me wings that I can spread 

All I see is in black and white 

For far too many things reman unsaid. 

I'm tired. 

Sleep, take me.
