Restless sleep

When you can’t sleep, count sheep
But the sheep don’t appear
The echoing of your name
Is the only thing I hear
In my mind, as if my brain
Vanishes, leaving an open space
Throughout the village of mountains
I hear the echo and in the snow I see your face

When you can’t sleep, count sheep
Still the sheep aren’t in sight
The fire in my mind that burns for you
During sleep, once again ignites
Toss and turn in restless sleep
To get close to you, I sometimes walk
In reality you’re not around
So why in my dreams, do you stalk?

When you can’t sleep, count sheep
But when I do, the sheep quickly turn
Into sweet memories of you
In restless sleep you need me
When I awaken, it’s not true

Side tracked

Side tracked Lost in your so called love for me Forgot about all that was important to me Losing track of the time that God gave me Letting you constantly blind me Being with you made me forget how to write Beautiful words within my soul ignite Once you are gone away from me You see, I can no longer afford to be, a part of your misery Desperately seeking a new place to fly Leaving you be, must let sleeping dogs lie For your misery shadowed what was supposed to be our happiness And we have been side tracked by this constant reminder of your sadness That leaves me lost walking alone in the dark Unable to sleep, unable to eat, or love from my heart The way I was taught to What was wrong with it being all about you? So much to be wronged when I had a family of my own Neglecting them behind this mess, we haven’t grown Together, yet much far apart The love I have for you I wish it had never start Love doesn’t take you down past roads you already been Especially where the road leads you to...
