Written When I Could Not Sleep

Despondent glances cast between us in the memory you composed

Overlooking words I long to say, long for you to know

Under assumption of greater things, which need not be discovered

Gleaming skin and dying eyes of a clandestine lover

Left alone, fatigued, bereft, jaded in my tension

And you, my dear, superb, unfazed, immune to our dissention

Somehow I cannot look away, somehow I cannot flee

Zero-hour closes in, I must find sanctuary

Every note, a memoir, hand-addressed to your spite

Pressing, I hope, on your heart, that you might feel my cry

Keeping in tradition, before I realize my worth

All that I have given you, flung harshly in the dirt
