why is it when the house is quiet

my sweet girl is sound asleep

the remembrance of her call to me

isn't gone with unwanted dreams?

interactions from times past

showed me girl has got her balls

but my "hello" drove her nail home

they're the biggest ones of all!

it's late and i'm not sleeping

ugh! hate it's got me stirred

more than twice now wide awake

in the 2 weeks since i heard

"genuinely concerned"

she told me that's her deal

pick a side my dear

wounds with handles never heal

better yet, just let it rest 

remove my name from your call list

don't darken the injustice,

by pretending that this is

something time and truth

revealed to us it isn't

i'm gonna write

to get it out

can't be robbing me of sleep

there's beauty where there's contrast

it's the lesson i will keep
