Jaded (sonnet)

The weariness that lies within these eyes,

It beckons me to sleep, but I can't fall.

For darkened nights bring with it wilted sighs,

And life's emotions seem to build a wall.
~~
A wall that one cannot surpass the night,

Abandoned by my dreams, I'm left to fade.

Convinced that sleep might come before the light,

I try to climb the wall of barricades.
~~
The stony thoughts that I must leave behind,

To climb this wall that seems to be too steep.

I'll reach my velvet bed that I've enshrined,

And close these weary eyes and fall to sleep.

~~

The wall of life's emotions can't be high,

'Cause I have climbed the wall of desperate sighs.
