The alarms inside me are silent,
Not a stir, nor an eyelid raised,
Everything sleeps.
What can sleep this long?
Slumber is not this deep.
I know it is forbidden,
And I know that it has gone.
I stirred this evening,
Alone, the moment passed,
I crept and cried,
and realised,
The awakening could never last.
Because the things inside me beg to fall apart.
