I lie awake at 3:00 AM.
During the day,
I had to force myself to keep moving
so that I wouldn't fall asleep
but now the night has brought my mind to life
and I am struck with thoughts
behind my eyelids
that emulate the black shadows
caressing my closet
i wrote this last night

Every night I lie awake
Sleep miles from my mind
I pray to God my mind to take
But please leave my soul behind

Birds sing their sweetest songs
They contrast my bitter thoughts
I hum this verse, though I haven't listened long
My heart and mind are lonely astronauts

The melatonin wasn't enough
she closed her eyes
but they snapped back open
darkness painting pictures
suddenly fluorescent
the ceiling was alive
more so than she was
embracing nothingness
only to find herself
waiting for something
that would never arrive
she awoke
two hours it seemed
but the neon clock beamed
only two minutes
had it been twenty-four
or was she lost in her head
unsure.....
alone in the night

Love changed overnight
And he does'nt feel it now.
The boy who onced dreamed
Of ushering a kiss to
A girl with creamed lips,
Who danced in the rain
Reading lines that intertwines
With love is now smoking cigarettes
With his damped distilled lips.
As if love was what he never wanted
but trust me, this man who was once mad in love is now on the other end of the **** waiting to ******* the pain to a ******* he hired for the night to make it more likely a insomaniac one.
He who wanted his soul to be fixed,  
By the woman with whom he made tryst with, which is worthless to one tiring soul, who has given more than a heart to be torn like the wet paper boat, desolate in raindrops of tears,
Is now the guy who working for his rehabilitation.
He who forget that there is more than his heart which he never felt,
That there is a mother who is madly in love with a boy who she fed her breast to,
That there is a man who has done everything with empty torn pockets and half eaten bread for him to be a man who he wish to,
That there is a girl and a boy who he promised to protect for the etenity of time he had in this planet when he was a mere toddler.
For there is a friend who made it through with the times which were agonizingly painful to bear it with his cold heart.
And yet he forget that love that he seizes to blind is there to be seen if his eyes were never shut for eternity at all.
