Another sleepless night



Another sleepless night, as she felt the painful emptiness that haunted her. Perhaps a cigarette would be enough to relax and give her body a breach to give in and rest. Lately only exhaustion did the trick... She recalled the hours she had spent waiting for that god damn rest, for the moment when her mind would simply give her a break. Music didn't help anymore nor reading.
She knew she had always trouble falling asleep, ever since she was a child, but this was becoming troublesome. This way she would not be able to recover... not as fast as she was wishing for.

Tic tac.... another minute gone by... Tic tac... another hour...

The violins were now soft and gentle, bringing tears to her eyes. Emptiness... Something dark, something cold, something too close to feeling sad. What had she become? Lost in a string, crying over a chord? How many shades of black could she use to paint that moment?

Almost dawn... Tic tac... there is now a shade of blue... Tic tac... all she could hear were the violins trough her headphones...

Finally she started to feel her mind close to exhaustion. She smiled. 'almost there'.... Tic tac...

  1. Smile though your heart is aching
    Smile even though it's breaking
    When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
    If you smile through your fear and sorrow
    Smile and maybe tomorrow
    You'll see the sun come shining through for you

    Light up your face with gladness
    Hide every trace of sadness
    Although a tear may be ever so near
    That's the time you must keep on trying
    Smile, what's the use of crying?
    You'll find that life is still worthwhile
    If you just smile

    That's the time you must keep on trying
    Smile, what's the use of crying?
    You'll find that life is still worthwhile
    If you just smile
