The Things in the Night
/
There are certain things, which keep me up at night
These are the things, which make me shiver with regret
Unspoken assumptions
Retaliated with misspoken and misplaced words
Grappled with the fury of red
These are the things, which go bump in the night
A bruised fate and an un-walked destiny
Bursting with greatness
But remaining with self-doubt and uncertainty
Until I am green in the face with the ordinary
These are the things, which creep in the night
Slowly walking up my bed sheets, silken my skin
But reminding me, I am all alone
Dreaming of adulterated love
Awakening broken hearted and reawakening to my courageous existence
Auspiciously mending the pieces -- back again
I am reminded of the things, which keep me up at night
