Fragile fate.

(Fragile fate)
snk

Dead before we started.
Living by mistake.
I celebrate my 'being' -
in dreams before I wake.
Waking up the neighbours.
Stalking in my sleep.
Breaking every promise -
I never meant to keep.
And you so disapproving.
So tactical your glare.
My flaws so celebrated -
whenever I'm not there.
Your disapproving gossip.
Whispering my name.
Toast my paranoia.
But never take the blame.
The loneliness of knowing.
This fragile fate we break.
My confidence in mourning.
I fight to stay awake.
For sleep is all I'm craving.
This black elusive calm.
Paralysed in slumber,
and safe from tender harm.
