Sleepless Night Contest

My mind wont sleep. Keeps ticking over the words that we shared on the phone, such a silly row , absurd. You heard me call a name in my sleep the night before. Accusations flying fast even though you knew the score Why I called his name out loud, maybe was the pain within. Calling the name of one dead love Shouldnt really be a sin Thought I was back on lifes road Memories are stored for evermore Would take the words back if i could Still i knew you knew the score Your who I am trying to love dear Your who I want to walk lifes way Your who i need to hold me near Your who I want each and every day Now I close my eyes and sleep I have told you whats on my mind Time to relax, my thoughts to keep buried to make room for the new kind.

Congrats for your win, Seren. It is nice to see these winner lists and finally get a chance to view the poems written for the challenges. I think it is so silly when people get upset by this kind of thing and it sure would give rise to someone having a sleepless night for worrying over it.

This gem really hit home for me Seren....I lost my lovely wife in 2008 and since then I have not been able to establish any kind of meaningful relationship and probably never will...Glad I read this - Tim
