I share this confession
Every time I wake from sleep
I've cost myself a chance to be king
Of an intensely beautiful dangerous place
And you know, the depth of that dreaming
Is more than I could ever perceive waking
The coffin keeps me safe from the probing questions
And how my somnolence rules my mind
I endure photophobia
And then the infections
Burn
I am not like you
I long to be the king of the night
My name is Nosophoros
I've watched life pass
Into the grey
I have taken arms to fight
To become the Lord Knight
Of that world
Watch and wait
Soon the night will cover your existence
And sleep will be all there is
And all you'll ever wish to have
