Paper-sack Promises And Lost Dreams

Promises,
     lay molded,
          in paper-sacks

suffocating,
     dreams plummet,
          beneath clouds

calloused,
     fingers release,
          sorrowed soul

haunting,
     questions assault,
          penetrating deep

wrestling,
     struggling...
          against my pillow

lost,
     stains linger,
          disguising reality

chains,
     ratchet tight,
          serenading death

exhausted,
     I forfeit,
          surrendering life

home...
     no longer
          to find
