A familiar face
with eyes so deep
my aura can feel such an intense embrace
for I cannot sleep
wondering if it will all disappear
as the thought makes my soul weep
for something that was probably not there
due to my distorted vision
that is at times not quiet so clear
as though Ive been wounded by a deep dark incision
captured by the thing that plagues my mind
through-out the night
leaving me so confined
oooh the woes of such plight
once again leaving me behind
why must I recall these old familiar ways
at such a trying time of need
as I count down the days
all the warnings I should have taken heed
another piece of my heart thou slays
no matter how much I plead
like one of many cliches
a life I tend to lead.
