I'm sleeping with a knife again
I'm just a drawing on the wall
Sooner or later everything falls apart
I have tried so hard to do right
Fought to heal every hurt
Leads me back to where i started from
With these shadows as my only company
Splinters of glass at my feet
Silence in her white dress
Like dust on books no-one reads
And beds no-one sleeps in anymore
(speechless nameless sleepless alone)
[emily dickinson (1830-1886)]
