Its late night
Early morning
And I can't Sleep
But matter falls
In a whole heap
No longer do I ask "why?"
Turn over or try
Wish upon a time
I could dream upon a lie
Drown my blood stream
In the heaviest medication
Keep my head strong
Attempt to live long
with a heart of dedication
Watch as married couples crumble
and Divorced spouses rumble
it’s a rocky road but keep humble
Play hot potato with death
But don't fumble
If I could I change my ways
I’d live for days
React in silence
No matter what anyone says
chasing my deepest thoughts
And I'd give them up never
If I could keep my closest forever
Fractures in the ceiling
So many corrupt figures need healing
Brave hearts discouraged by sour tarts
Reaper or keeper,
We may never tell them apart
