Nightsong

We got lost along the way.

No one was looking forward.

I went out to find some change and I found somehow that moment passed.

Now I'm always tired.

Now I'm always drained.

We were promised so much more than this bore. It died on the vine.

I think about it every night.

Same old dream. I'm losing teeth.

Now that I'm awake what does that mean? Someone tell me what it means.

Every night a sacrifice that days light.

And I'm trapped between sleep and dream remembering everything that's crushing me.

It died on the vine.

I think about it all the time.

A hurricane night shift on the coast.

If I survived, why am I a ghost?

I'm still begging for forgiveness from someone who doesn't care and I'm asking for attention from someone who's never there.

I'm not saying there's no reason, I'm not saying it's not fair.

It's just a promise to myself.
