Late Night

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
