Assault

Ignoring the things that cause heartache

The busying of one's hands to produce something--

ANYTHING to leave a mark on this world

to be recalled and applauded

But am frequently assaulted

by the thought of you

Waking up in mid REM

Push you out- you walk back in

No Lover-- No Friend

Awake to pray

'Amen' we say

To close one's eyes

Ignoring tears cried

Fall asleep, but not too deep

Enough to be trapped between who you were

And who you are

Awake and unbothered, I am

But sleeping tight all night is unreasonable

For everytime I close my eye

I am assualted by your image
