Insomnia of a Forgotten Heart

• Artist: Jerry64
• Description: This poem has no rhyme scheme nor setup of any stanza format whatsoever. I wrote this poem in the middle of the night because I couldn't sleep at all. As much as I tried, I couldn't sleep that night....I felt like I had some sort of insomnia. I started thinking and suddenly a whirlwind of thoughts raced through my mind. I thought to myself that I must write. It was an urge. And with that sudden impulse, I've created this work of poetry that you now see before you.

Insomnia of a Forgotten Heart

Date: September 1st 2008


Oh cursed night
One that I’ll never sleep through
Nothing breaks the silence
Emptiness makes it so
The emptiness within my heart
Confusion, anger, sadness
Dash it all and start anew
But what is dashed is never forgotten
Like the lingering echoes in a dark and lonely hallway

The coldness of my soul lasts even through this hellish inferno
Oh how it stays cold
This blanket does nothing but cover up my tears
Brings no warmth nor any care
Such pathetic wool comes from the blackest of sheep
I can only empathize
An outcast of the night have I made myself

The insomnia never ceasing
Coldness never melting
Silence never breaking
Drowning in my own consciousness

Oh how I yearn for a noise
Oh how I yearn for a voice
Oh how I yearn for someone
Someone who can wake me up from this illusion of loneliness
This illusion of hate
This illusion of sadness
Oh how I yearn for the love that would dash away those hellish illusions
The one with the golden kiss
For alack, I have found fool’s gold
Yielding nothing but empty hope

Dashed illusions are never forgotten
Always leaving and returning like the tainted waves of a miserable ocean
Let the salt from my tears add on to that ocean
So that those may have something to remember me by
For all I am is a lonely, forgotten soul
In the middle of a never-ending night

Silence never breaking
Coldness never melting
Insomnia never ceasing
Drowning in my own consciousness

Oh forgiving love hear my plea
Wake me up from this reality
