Deep Sleep

-
He had a pair of sunken eyes
Was never seen without those eyes
Misery was his middle name
Was he still in the game
Was he living aimlessly
Perhaps he lived foolishly
Nobody ever knows
Or perhaps it shows
The meaning of his sighs
But no one asked whys
Did he cry of blame
That he never overcame
Those sunken eyes were always empty
Maybe his time stopped already
Perhaps he knows
That it was time to go
Finally into a deep sleep.

Anyway, let me tell you a little bit about this blog name and its URL. As you can see, this blog name is A Thousand Words and it is as literal as it is. Though it is named A Thousand Words because the song A Thousand Years was playing in my head, I thought that it would sound good if I named it like so. For publicity purposes, see. And, won't all the creative posts here reach 1000 words, after all?  . However, is it enough to convey our complex emotions with a thousand words?
