tonight

I am heartbroken tonight

unable to sleep

after this excuse for a day.

I am holding back tonight

not quite sure what I want to say

and why my heart is hurting in the first place.

Maybe it is the song that played

when I turned on the radio

that led me back to when you weren't so far away

Or maybe it is the way my mind wanders

to places dark and uncharted

when everyone else goes to sleep.

Could be none of those things at all

but the fact that an empty mind races

and you are not here.

Irregardless, I sit here heartbroken tonight

pouring out my heart in hopes of solace

from unknown losses kept alive in my mind.

Who knows what will trigger a flood of emotion. You've described so well that empty feeling and the path that it travels .

i liked this one a lot. i understand quite well the concept of a feeling coming out of the blue and taking you over. sometimes it is triggered by a song or thought as you describe, sometimes it just is there for no reason. you described it better than i am attempting to do. well done.
