I lay in bed listening to the rain
Falling against my windowpane
Soothing but still I cannot sleep
All I can do is think and weep

I wonder when did I get like this
Constantly thinking of those I miss
Worrying about how I’ll end up
Draining the coffee from my cup

It’s 2 AM now I think think think
Further into myself I sink sink sink
My bed is cold and filled with tears
I Feel like I’ve been awake for years

Insomnia has gotten the best of me
My eyes are open, but I barley see
The world is fuzzy through my eyes
Each night another piece of me dies

Did the sun forget to shine,
Down on this barren earth?
For I see none of that greener grass anywhere,
See no place with worth.

Did the rain forget to fall,
Down to pass through our drying lips?
For now our words come out like sandpaper,
Cutting each other to slits.

Did the stars forget to glow,
And fill the darkness with their light?
For we all walk around with empty dreams,
And there's no wishing happening at night.

Did the wind forget to whisper,
It's softly spoken melody?
For our hearts seem to have forgotten,
The feeling of it's silent beauty.

Oh, what happened to that life,
That danced inside our skin,
That made us want to laugh,
That made us want to live?

A Poem

Matt
I drove in my car
I didn't drive far

Through the suburban neighborhoods

A friday night football game
A man and woman
With their son

Cruising the streets
Of my old neighborhood
Isn't it fun

My old childhood street
Is just a mile
Or so away

I'm not sure
What to do today

I'll go to the gym
And that's a bore

A life of seeing
What a snore

It seems
I am in this world
Just to see

My existence
A dull misery

Growing tired
Growing older

I have climbed
Mountain trails
And stood upon boulders

I have made some improvement
With my akward shoulder

America is quite a place
Life leaves a bitter taste

Conceptions of self
What am I
I gaze upward
Toward the sky

It's a dull reality
But I'm thankful
I am me

I miss my friend Liz
She understood
And cared for me

Now there is no one
To talk to me
