Sometimes people cant wake up.
They draw the curtians
for their own reasons
and curl up
warm,
but barely breathing.
Their hearts
slow
and they dream
sluggish
dreams....
Pain hurts, but sleep is
painless and so they do.
And then they cant wake up.
And they dont care,
and they dont try
to remove the milkdust from their
eyes....

I cant wake up Wake up, Vikki, Wake up! Oh, wake up baby, Wake up...
