When your lover limps away
Into the dark of that good night
Which makes you question your memory of the light
There is only one thing to do or say
To try and minimize that loss
Which is to say nothing at all
But to move away to another town
Where just around every waking corner
There isn’t a different memory to be found
Of her, of Maggie
That's why on the plane ticket now
I can see from the boarding pass
That for Seattle we're bound
To begin again without the blackbird
To a place far away
Where hopefully we won't have to say
Bye bye to someone like her again
At least in that specific way

if I can't sleep at night
and I just want to cry
i'll listen to some music
and I know it'll be alright

I'll find no rest in this old home
Another house beneath my feet
Like sands which shift on a foreign shole
I am the comber of this beach

With every night alive I wake
To wind which howls
And a bed which aches

Though guilty as my leave may be
I can no longer sleep within this place

Lying here, alone with my thoughts,
I search through the chaos to make sense of it all.
My chest grows tighter the farther I fall,
Suffocating me slowly in a sea of my faults.
I spiral downward with every regret,
All the memories and pain I never could forget.
Intense with shame and hate all the same,
I closed my eyes only to wake in my bed.
Alone with my thoughts,
Alone once again...

- B.K.S.

Sleeping village with its blanket of darkness
Night lamps of glowing fireflies
Silence conquering every poles
Eye lids closed falling in deep sleep
Except those with tears missing her love
Blurring the vision of perplexed moon
Caressing wind to make her sleep
Scaring owl to close her eyes
Hissing snakes distracting her thoughts
Still her tears wetting blanket of darkness
Unhaltingly starts the moon to hide
Old big owl falling asleep
Snakes entering the burrows
Comes out the sun peeping out its head
Switching off night lamps village comes out of the blanket
Those eyes with tears falling in deep sleep
Tired of missing her love the whole night
