Fighting the Night
3/19/2010
Not drinking the bottle, has made my mind clear
Every night facing my biggest fear
Reliving pain, hurt, and deep sorrow
Never forgetting the images when I wake up tomorrow
Seeing myself cry in pain
Hurts more than living through it.
Since I’m not numb my mind races
It’s not easy keeping those bad thoughts out
Fighting that addiction
That has been killing me slowly
Long enough to keep me alive
To feel pain again.

Every Night
written June 14th, 2009
Do you know how you got to bed last night?
I made your bed
Fluffed your pillows
Carried you across the room,
And tucked you in.
I’d tuck you in
Make you comfortable
Sing a son
For the rest of my life
Just so you’d sleep well
To ward off bad dreams
To keep you safe
From the darkness
Sometimes I wonder,
Why am I never tucked in?
The only thing missing for you…
Is a mint on your pillow.
