Leave me Alone!

T’s time to sleep
The night is born
But thoughts don’t seem
To leave me alone.

I’m not sure, very
What to expect tomorrow
So my head I bury
Under my pillow

Night dies
Dawn breaks
I’m wishing it takes
My thoughts with it.

Day is here
And the birds sing
Yet it’s only fear
That my thoughts bring

Drizzle or Drought
The thoughts die not.
Work or play
The thoughts stay

Carved in my heart
No end, no start
No freedom from my thoughts
No matter how many wars I’ve fought

How many days?
How many years?
How many Prayers?
How many tears?

They’re always there

Frightening like the mountains
Free like the rivers
Down my spine
Runs the shivers

How will I send
…my thoughts away?
When will it end?
What may I pay?

It’s not easy to try
I shut my eyes to the pain
I don’t want to cry
But the thoughts… they’re stay’n

I hate to mourn
Go away!
Leave me alone

Go away please
Give me some peace

But deep in my soul
Like molten coal
You’re always there
Ever so cold

Taller than the Everest
Longer than the Nile
No, peace, no rest
No bliss, no smile

What does it take
To chase you away?
My mind up, I make
But the thoughts always stay

Greater than the Niagara Falls
Stronger than the Pyramid walls
Carved in my heartNo end, no start!
