The Urban streetlights

In the dead of the morning

2:30 i'm without sleep

I hold the sandman captive

Elude the R.E.M. Deep

Such a lonely peace

So many thoughts creep

Think about where i'm at in my life

I have to dam the rising weep

Suck it up and be a man like I've been told

My girl no longer wants to hear my woes

Only God knows how humble i've become

I'm here and willing, know you have more work

In the darkness sometimes I hurt, Find Joy in the day

Hope in the morning, Got to find a way

The dead of night I sit here and think of all my plights

As I write in my apartment

Bathed in the urban streetlights.





Illuminate me in your amber warm

At night it's so calm with your light night don't seem long

A poet becoming strong I know I did some wrongs

Ask God to forgive me in the cusp of dawn

My trust in you not gone, In this dusk this storm

Harnessing my love at a time lust can be born

Torn between right and wrong, In the middle I don't belong

We all have to choose a side, our evils we can't mourn

Born is a new wisdom newly evolved eyes

When Tears are beyond sound he hears our cries

Disguise it in pride, but we can not hide

Insides inenvitablely tell the truth and don't lie

I'm just a vulnerable guy writing his story in blackness though

The street beacons allow me to write in this Golden glow.
