her heart pounds
as he speaks to her--
sleepless nights

Hard To Save

These fleeting sights
These sleepless nights
Are only of my mind
I rip my soul and body apart
Yet peace I cannot find

Nothing Compares

When the days are red
When the nights are blue
nothing compares
to how much
i love you
i just can't
live without you

Cheap Dreams

cheap dreams
never face 
sleepless nights

endless effort
finds realization
driving the dream

Do you always paint them black?
Clothe them in satin whites
If it's colors that you lack.

when summer days and winter nights.
Do battle upon the open field,

I cry through the nights
And wonder

Moonless Beach

holding what the twilight brings
sleepless nights, empty dreams
close my eyes, visions creep
passion ebbed, moonless beach

The nights grow even
colder when I realize
I've spent too much time

screaming at your shadows and
waiting for a miracle

The Wish Part 1

Make a wish 
I make a wish 
To feel that way
Someday

Under the lonely nights
Killing not to slump again 
I make the wish

Fearful Nights

Falling of dark 
Folding a fear in me
Brings rain if it’s 
Increasing by another fold
My fear
Not now
But when I was small

Embracing Autumn  
Shorter days bring longer nights
Cooler weather now
Seasonal migrating flocks
The sky fills with giant V's
