Late

It's late and I should be in bed,
But still, here I sit.
So many thoughts running through my head,
And so many things I can't forget.

At night it's tough to be alone,
When you thought you'd found someone.
During the day you're okay on your own,
But that ends when the day is done.

No one likes to sleep in an empty bed,
Even if it's all she's ever known.
Despite all the words that I've said
About being happy and content on my own.

With the stars in the sky outside
And the darkness all around me,
Today was a very fun ride,
But it's over before I wanted it to be.

Life is all about nights and days,
And how you learn to blend the two.
All of the secrets and ways
To keep life from beating the tar out of you.

One of the rules that all should know
Yet is rarely really followed like it should be,
Is that sleep is where you should go,
Before thoughts make you crazy like me.
