exhausted in the dark

i have never felt more lonely than i do now
i have never felt more lonely than i do now
the effort to drive home in the dark
the exhaustion of trying to maintain relationships
no point in seeing what makes me tired
by chance i meet and old flower, bright as always
though my eyes squint too much to fully appreciate her
grins fleet to return to the homestead
leaden fingers attempt to convey exhaustion
it is necessary and droll i cannot stand it
i cannot stand
so i recline and hope and pray to dream
the only way to escape myself and the constant contradictions i cast
to think free and clear outside of time
to live possibly outside of life if only for a moment
i will do it again forever more than likely
