Last Night

Last night was tough
Last night was cruel
Last night was much affliction
Last night was no renewel

Up and working late
Avoiding any focus
As thoughts of you took over
Took me low as crocus

I felt like breaking down
But in the office I just couldn't
I'm scared to show emotion
Even though I know I shouldn't

9 pm is finally here
I head out to the Blazer
Start up the ignition
And then become a gazer

I realize my zoning 
I bring myself around
To hear on the radio
A quite familiar sound

Guns 'n Roses floods my mind
Paradise city is what I hear
My lips start to sing it
And my voice becomes unclear

My heart tells me it's you
Comforting my grief
Showing me your there
Then i'm flustered with relief

For me this isn't easy
Never expected you to go
Last night you paid a visit
Another night I grieved with woe

((Losing your father is the hardest thing to ever happen
to you when your a Daddy's girl, I'm sure most of my poems 
will have his dedication, this helps me release the pressure of
his thoughts, and releive my mind! ))

THANK YOU ALL, for reading and enjoying my poems!

-Miranda Lambert-

Love this! And I, too, lost my father a few years back. I've also written about him. I know of a Miranda Lambert who is a country music artist. One of my favorites!! Ellen
