Lines

I lay awake and let my mind wander
Think of the things I have to ponder
And let these thoughts infect my dreams
Things are not what they seem

I stare at the ceiling, the cracks on the wall
Mystified and intrigued by the wonder of it all
The lines on the wall like those on my hand
The monsters there at my every command

I trace the lines on my palm with my finger
Choosing carefully on which ones to linger
I stop at the point where the line ends at last
And move my finger back to retrace my past

The corners of my vision begin to cloud
But still my heart beats strong and proud
Like laying on the edge of awake and asleep
I lay here dazed as my breaths become deep

Finally my time is here
My left eye cries my very last tear
I look at the world for the very last time
Before I calmly surrender my mind
