Nov 2015
It is now night and I try to fall asleep
Though the days events unfold
My mind will not quit, there is no peace

The day has now played through in my mind
But no, that's not enough
Let's just see if I truly am that tough
My mind picks apart all that was said
From sun up to sundown
My heart, it hangs onto every word
Each syllable, each verse, each sound

It remembers how each one came across your lips
Looking in between the lines of all your quips
I try and tell my heart that it's foolish to look
That you're as easy to read as a children's book

My heart cannot accept that
It wants more
My mind agrees, let's see what's in store
I tell them no, we can't, not yet
*Just leave it with your shoes at the door
One day it will have a title.
One day I will not have to....
