[hometext] => I was taking care of a friend who had too much to drink, I wrote this when I coudnt sleep because I was so struck by the contrast between the happiness and sadness she brings to me
[bodytext] => The sleepless night She is across the room Never so close and so distant at once Shifting frames of vision reveals Innocence, beauty, perfection She had weathered her storm and now slept peacefully So perfect and beautiful, if only she knew how you felt Your storm is only beginning There will be no sleep tonight Sorrow and hopelessness your blanket Irrelevance your pillow Laying on a matress of despair Smoking another cigarette Searching for some relief It doesnt matter though Because nobody can sleep on that bed of nails It doesnt matter though Your solace is seeing her peaceful expression Preserved in a fragile sleep And knowing that whatever happens Whatever dark path life may take you down however deep in a depraved drunken despair however alone and worthless you might ever feel You can always just remember this one moment The moment when you felt pure, unrestrained love And your problems will become meaningless [comments] => 1 [counter] => 189 [topic] => 33 [informant] => TheLoner [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SecretLove )
