A Long Night

It’s about thirty minutes past the darkest hour and I’m lying in bed wide-awake,

Hurt and afraid.

Recycling the same old thoughts, hoping to find a new interpretation...

One I can live with.

[baby what have you done?]

I wander aimlessly down the blue path, worn and familiar, and recognize my footprints by the devious shoes I wear.

Betraying imprints left carelessly on your smashed heart.

I turn my eyes and look away.

I didn’t do that.

I just wouldn’t.

Back in my room…dark, shadowy and electric, I am safe now.

But I’m NOT here. I’m with you. Someplace I’ve never been before and never want to leave.

I’ve always been free to catch the wind and fly off...

I’ve left plenty behind, and easily.

But I just can’t walk away from you baby.

So here I stay, looking out a window with bars on it.

I’m not sure about this view.

I wonder some days why I even bother to open my eyes.

And then I hear you breathing. And I know I don’t have to see at all.
