Wake Up, It's Morning

A broken sigh now falls down my lips
it seems I've been here far too many years
I'm so afraid to take that next risk
not even night's calm breathe can ease my fears.

The stars take their time flying cross the sky
I'm begging, pleading, I'm not sure who
to strike this fear from my heart, where I lie
I hate this dearly, but what am I to do?

My very soul is shaking in its shoes
my insides are trembling
I cry tears of desperation, over an unseen bruise
is it better, when everything I know is dissembling?

The sun's just starting to break over the edge of the world
my thoughts must stop this strange whorl
I close my eyes until they are straightened, unfurled
it's time to loose myself in my life, the empty swirl.
