SOMNAMBULISM

To reach a place
Where to take a breath
Leaves me disgusted with myself
As I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I stumble, and fall
Crumble and cry
I am sleepwalking through life
Because I long to dream
For you are there
When I finally sleep
You are my love
There
If not here
Life offers nothing
Without you
So I prefer
To dream of you
Where you are proof
Of something that is worth
Living
Empty in life
Fulfilled in dreams
Without you
There is only living
Walking
Without hope
Animated flesh
Somnambulism
