the corners of my mind

bump in the night ...

I hear things in the night.
They could be ghosts or birds in flight.
I sit in the dark wondering,
Wondering what tomorrow brings.
What you're doing now,
What are you thinking?
The soft glowing colors warm up my room,
I look at the stars and I think of you.
I saw it today.
I read it too.
I'm doing just fine.
I hope you are too.
It was a difficult year,
Full of heartache and pain.
I couldn't find my way out,
Too much sadness and rage.
I got nothing done,
I unraveled and became undone.
But here I am,
Still alive in the room we once hung out in.
I hear your voice,
Or what I think it sounded like.
I look at your letters,
And read what you used to think of me.
I look at my pictures,
I see what we used to be.
It's different now.
I hear sirens in the night,
Spirits haunt me in my sleep.
I see you in my dreams,
A piece of you haunts me.
