sleepless slumber in the eye
of the storm within my heart
as allusions pass me by
slowly I am torn apart

eerie silence in the eye
of the storm that I have made
for as hopeless as I try
memories refuse to fade

expectations in the eye
of the storm entrap me here
for emotions do not lie
and their consequence I fear

watching helpless in the eye
of the storm that I enrage
knowing as time passes by
I will have to turn the page

waiting restless in the eye
of the storm while changing hue
rain still falling as I cry
over what I have to do

clinging numbly to the eye
of the storm within my heart
fearful life will pass me by
if today I do not part
