‘Mute’

When in the dark,

I try to close my eyes,

But sadly, nothing works.

I’ve never bothered

Counting sheep,

Because, well,

Why bother?

Repetitive, no?

Well, let me guess:

You came here

For a reason,

A reason I cannot

Explain,

Or dare to

Venture further.

I do apologize

For all of

My misconceptions,

All of the lies I’ve hidden

in

These awful,

Mute deceptions.
