Up against this mood tonight. 



I’ve tried a thousand times

to simply get up and forget

I ever fell in love with her. 



That’s when 

the trouble starts. 

I close my eyes to forget

and it starts all over again. 



I dream. 



I can’t quite,

control that world. 

A diluted place

left fearful searching 

out of breathe in a panic

looking for her. 



And no matter

how hard I try

I can’t quite

ever catch up to her. 

I can’t open my eyes

and just stop. 



Instead,

I avoid sleeping. 

Always lost, 

out searching

each and every night. 

I ask for one simple wish

whispered secretly 

of course. 



I’m Centered squarely, 

in my perfect praying position,

down on broken knees

to palms. 

I ask

bless and find me, 

please.
