I can't sleep well tonight

By wanderingpoet

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I can’t sleep tonight I’m not too sure why While plotting plains of Friday’s pleasures A thought glittered across my mind Walked back up the stairs Saw the evil hands once again Into my quarters do I retire Restless and dying on comfortable coffins… Tried a shower, perhaps my hair needs to be tended And yet thoughts could not escape me. In the end, when everything has died down I know the real reason I cannot sleep… I miss your voice… Thought it may be layered in pain and soaked with anger I miss your voice… While it is still the symphony to my ears A peace to my soul A simple walk down a river. I miss looking into your soul From distances of great and far And seeing reflections of myself within you And yet a sprit that is unbounded Floating day by day towards wind’s final act. I miss your love… How I just felt warm and safe within your words Even though I know tomorrow is another day Another fight I miss your love… It kept me warm while my chilly heat froze to death It kept me safe while hidden pains and passions Drove from evil recesses within my mind.. It kept me sane during my darkest hour To simply hear your voice and know that you were still there You said we needed to talk You said we had to work through… But right now I would brave anything To hear your voice again… Written April 9th, 2002 © on Apr 08 2002 06:40 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
