It's just one of those nights <br />That chooses me... <br />I don't choose it... <br />I'd much rather be... <br />Sleeping <br /> <br />But instead... <br />I sit here... <br />And type away.. <br />Through the tears.. <br />What I mean to say... <br />Is... <br />I'm haunted... <br />By memories of the past... <br />They creep to the forefront <br />They skuttle my soul <br />They overtake all... <br />That I might know... <br />Who they were... <br /> <br />Those memories... <br />Boy from window fell... <br />Woman burned in hell... <br />Young wife impaled upon... <br />Headless fellow...now belongs... <br /> <br />That I have seen or been... <br />A part of these themes... <br />Makes me sad... <br />Relinquishes my soul.. <br />And yet... <br />I know... <br />I had to... <br />God! Someone had to... <br />Why not I? ? ? <br /> <br />Tomorrow... <br />The tears shall... <br />Dry from my eyes... <br />Life will resume... <br />And all will be well...again. <br /> <br />But...tonight... <br />Tonight...I cry<br /><br />Dee Daffodil<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-just-one-of-those-nights/
