you can't compete, you fall asleep
you wake to racing thoughts
consumes your mind, until you find
your bottle of popov
you drink away, the thoughts that they
told you you shouldn't keep
and then you hope, that it will stay
below your conscious' sweep

I wish you knew, how falsely true
was my dirty facade
nobody saw, the sacred law
known only to your God
but we all act, as if there's tact
in playing liar's parts
then you see me, and sight turns black
logic from you departs.

I wake again, the sky is dim,
you stand in front of me.
I close my eyes, to my surprise
you walk away from me
regret hits home, I spot the phone
but we both know I'm weak
the call's not made, I'm still alone
my feelings yet to leak.

It's too late now, I'm down and out
you've gone away for good
and once again, the guilt sets in
depressing is my mood
then the phone rings, new hope it brings
in my gut, butterflies
Is Tammy there? - wafts through the air
Wrong number - I replied

I'd almost completely forgotten about these feelings, these moments of great dispair, regret, until I read your words...
I was there with you...feeling what you feel...this was so well done...
I felt the emptiness, the fears...the saddness

Looking forward to reading more of you...
