My face sinks in the mattress,
Drowning in the white sheets,
As my breath goes away, 
Nose and mouth scream
The serene emptiness
Until I also feel, nothing

The night is bitterly calm,
I wish I could see the stars
But the sky is darkened by clouds,
Pillows smell of summer rain
Tearfully moist, next to me,
Clinging to my skin
As if they longed for affection

Tired eyelids close, beginning
My mind's race with thoughts,
Lost in a sea of memories—
I want to escape,
Dance with shadows,
Bathe in the drowsiness of sleep

Yet I'm stuck here, imprisoned
By invisible chains, detained,
Listening to my body's melodies,
Shortnesses of breath,
Tighter fragments of chest,
Hiding under the ugly truth
That I deserve this torture

Sometimes eyes are wide open,
Making up some shapes
In the middle of the fog's veil,
And the whispers of the night
Reveal themselves

Again my head starts spinning
Again I hear the ghosts buzzing
Or perhaps it's only my desire to feel
Someone, something, anything at all

Crusty sand in the globular's corners 
Mouth's yawning, muscles crawling
Under my skin demanding silence
Yet, I can't seem to shut down

I'd like to take hair out of my scalp,
Maybe their fruity scent will help
Lessen the sickening taste of thirst,
Tongue feeling in my pasty mouth:
I am on my own and the unknown
Reaches my arms, fingers, skin,
I am completely paralysed

Time is timeless,
Hours after hours,
The numbers seem to disappear
Lifelessly passing through
My hands like air—
I am a corpse, merely living,
Vanishing, in my own bed,
Deeper with every gesture,
Deeper with every breath
