You

Its hard to write in the harsh light

Of the sun through my window.

So to do this right, I wait \'till night,

Sat on my bed with a torch on low.

My mask falls in sync with the sun,

And guarded emotions become undone.

I think of you more. I can\'t help it.

I feel my chest or heart start to split.

I try to sleep, I really do,

But sometimes I\'m too caught up in you,

Thoughts and memories and dreams of you,

Things I\'ve had and will never have with you.

So I write things when I can\'t sleep,

Poems and songs I can hide and keep,

So when the lights not right for me to write on my bed,

I can read about you instead.
