Half Way

Half way to sleep

Between heart ache

And bliss

 

Wishing to bring

From my dreams to my lips

The untaken kiss

 

Half way to tears

Haunted by warnings

I forsook

 

Wishing to rest

The ghosts of the lives

I took

 

Half way to death

Ever so close

To my grave

 

Another day

Without forgiveness

I crave

 

Half way to insanity

Stuck to reality

By regrets

 

Unable to escape

My guilt over promises

I kept

 

Half way to sleep

While my ghosts weep
