Sleeping Cyborg

I Open My Eyes Wide




But They Are Still Closed Tightly


 


Fighting The Brightest Darkness




I Feel So Awake




Even Though I Feel Like I Am Asleep




A Hazy Nightmare




I Have Wings That Help Me Fly




Though I Can't Even Reach Up To The Sky




Heaving In This Planet's Noxious, Poisoned Fumes




A Freezing Breeze Pierces My Weakly Thin Skin




Listening To The Weeping Widows And Banshees




As They Wail Their Songs




Of Mourning Loss And Useless Wars




The Whispers Say I Am Not Human,




But A Statue, A Cyborg




With My Broken, Still Beating Heart And




My Metallic, Silver Mask




I Do Not Cry, I Do Not Shed Rivers Of Tears.




Not Anymore, Not Anymore




Because, If You Look Into My Dull Orbs,




The Doors To My Soul




You Will See That The Ponds And Lakes




Have Dried Away


 


For I Have No More Tears To Let Flow




I Have Become A Cyborg,




With My Broken Heart And




Rusting, Silver Mask
