Bella Imperia: The things I don’t say

I’m so tired. This day has drained me in ways I can’t fully explain.
Thank you for putting up with all my posts, with all the thoughts, with all the notes.
They rattle around inside my head as I try to make my weary bed.
With all the emotions buried deep within my fractured heart, I tell it please just stop, don’t start.
Thank you for listening, for letting me vent, for allowing all these feelings and old memories to spill themselves across these pages.

I’m drained now. My eyes are bleary, my body aches, so worn and weary,
and even holding myself together feels so very, very heavy.
I apologize for the mistakes, for the rough around the edges, for not making this prettier.
But tonight, this is all I have left to give, dear listener.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I close my eyes and drift so deep.
Keep me safe throughout the night,
And wake me with the morning light.
