Awake and Writing
It's too late for today
And too early for the morrow
But my head's throbbing
With what my heart is writing
My pen won't stop pondering
Scribbling every thought that comes across
And my words don't make sense
But it has to be written
This unspoken yearning
This stupid waiting
And loving
And wanting
I got to write in this silence
The feelings that would never reach you
The tears that would never drench you
I got to write, to write and to write
Until I get the courage to let go
Until I find the strength to think of love without you
I got to scrawl
I got to sit and stay awake
Until I have written my hopes to let go
To someday live without your thoughts
To not want you as much as I do
I got to stay awake and write
while I'm thinking of you.
