Another sleepless night
Staring at the light
Above my head
Thoughts of poisoned lead

Re-living memories of time past
Somehow it lingers
These thoughts of you
I hold on like there’s going to be tomorrow
But I know I can’t
I need to look beyond this night
Stop fighting for what isn’t right

Why is life so complicated?
Why do I get frustrated?
When all I want is not be jaded

But I guess we all have to go through it
But I’d prefer an abbreviated
Version and less complicated
Way of looking at things

Someday maybe I’ll get it right
This is what happens
In the middle of the night
Ramblings with self
Like it makes any sense
Except to me
And for now, I guess that’s okay
