9/13/2006 10:54:00 PM - Never Again

At midnight on the darkest night the year has in store, when all men are lulled by sleep, I walk the dusty roads lit only by the misty street lamps, as the moon is out of sight. The cold is unbearable as my heart chokes in its agonies. In indecisiveness I wander, lost in the dust and sweaty, shivering, blinded by the darkness, and broken by sadness. Insomnia has haunted me for four months and a half now; how daunting is a life with no sleep. While I walk, lethargic with lassitude, quivering in the overwhelming algidity, feeling pain in every trace of skin exposed to the night, I think about those who once would have let me in to a warm bed, to a peaceful night's sleep. I think of ones I'd loved, of ones I wish I'd loved, and of ones that'd loved me. I think of broken hearts whose owners are never meant to be spoken of ever again. The mere thought of 'never again' makes a tear slide down my numb cheek, and as the tear freezes there, halfway between my eye and chin, near my red nose, I stop. I have run out of road, I have long left the town and its dust. I find myself in a snow storm somewhere surreal and strange, yet am more lost than ever. Suddenly, my heart decides to stop beating, and I die, an old man in a snowy desert, deserted.
