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
