I just didn't want
to be asleep anymore
all the lies of the heart
tore a hole in my soul
I wake myself up
to escape the pain
fall right back in
to do it over again
The alarm finally rings
on another frustrated night
I look forward to the day
of distractions for the mind
Until one more time
night finds it's way
frees wandering thoughts
subconcious wonders why
So that now I dread
to lay down for sleep
all alone in this house
with you in my dreams

This is sad and tugs at ones soul. Our memories are the one thing we can't escape. They haunt us even when we wish them to vacate our minds. We will them gone only to have them find us again.
This is an amazing write as always. Filled with emotion and truth that so many can relate to. Well done my friend. Know that there is light at the end of your journey and that you are never alone.
