I should have backed out
when instinct told me to
run;
run far,
run now.

When you closed eyes a little too long for a healthy man;
I know that nod only too well.

When the blame game you play spins to everyone but yourself

I should have backed out.
I should have backed out.

Now you Tangled my
Heart strings

Now you Mangled
My mind

When you surprised me with
Outrage over my feelings
On being an afterthought
Over your : addictions
Over your:  obsessions
Over : anything that could come before me

When you surprised me with
A Luke warm return

I should have backed out.
I should have backed out.

The door.

So now I’ll go.

Run
Run far
Run now..

A waivering head
With memories coursing though every finger
A grip on sleep once lost
Is held directly in hand
Though it cannot hold a candle to the perfect dark
But to pay the waking watchman's toll
Over and over again
Is no good for a weary traveler stead
Instead it's said, once lost in dreams
Such a peaceful hopeful magnificence
May be never found again
Let alone remembered upon awaking
It's hard to sleep in such a manner. Slightly torturous in truth.
