The words fell off of my lips,
Like a **** had been broken in my mind,
Every single thought,
Being transferred onto paper.

Struggling to keep up,
With all the words I never said,
The crumpled up ***** of paper,
Lying motionless next to my bed.

All empty thought,
And things that didn’t come out right,
Never going to sleep,
Staying up in lamp light.

It felt like I was drowning,
Begging for sleep to finally pull me under,
To put my thoughts to rest,
And make me stop having all the “what-if’s” scraping around in my skull.

So many things were left unsaid,
Since the day we met.

But now I’m writing everything down,
In one massive wave,
And I can only hope and pray,
That you feel the same.
