Why I Can't Sleep At Night (Part II)

Another bad idea

Memories galore

And what can I say

Except: I had more…


Like a rose in the sky

And so pretty in pink

Locked in home knit eyes

I didn’t even think


It was last night’s tossing and turning

It was not quite learning

It was the food and the boat

It was listening to every note

It’s haunting to say the least

It was green eyes upon which I feast

It was the element of surprise

And staring at those eyes

It was being tackled for no reason

And the upcoming season

It was the air around, the atmosphere

It was in the back of your head

It was the ever-present fear

And knowing it was dead

It was snowboards and skis

And knowing how to tease

It was the way neither spoke

And it was utterly scared

It was just one last joke

And how only half cared

It was leaping mountains

And keeping those pains

It was a means to an end

And a now distant friend

It was a lack of communication

As it starts to break down

It was a silent cringe

Knowing it was no longer around

It was a fleeting moment

And it was chasing nothing

It was watching it all fall down

And searching for something

It was writing out thoughts

And having them ignored

It was leaning towards someone else

And watching her get bored

It was over before it began

It never followed any plan

It was always to be expected

But never wanting to let it

It was a stroke of luck

And a fool’s chance

It was an utter mess

And a doomed romance

It was sad to say the least

It was happy to go away

It was bringing life to the deceased

And it was forcing night to day


And it was

But no longer

And it hurt

But no longer


It was what kept me up at night

It was what slowly wore me down

It was longing for the sight

It was never having you around

It died finally back then

And it will never happen again…
