Heart TripA Poem by Indra's ChildI can't fall asleep. Insomnia keeps me up all night, But it seems I'm still dreaming. I know I would sleep better if I was lying next to you... ...Don't you get it? Man, forget it... I'll let it slip by, too... You've got a life to live... ...and I? I've got to stop giving and start getting one of my own... The problem is, I can't do it alone. And I'm scared of having to be alone, but it's more than that, You know... It's hard now to imagine how, I'd wake up to an empty room. I've got a million vows, only one's loud Enough to be etched on my tomb. If this is lust, there was never a chance, But if this is love, then f**k romance, Because I can't. Do this anymore, Was there anything to this before? Now I've gotta go, I just hope you know, That you can shut the door, or leave it open, but don't sit there moping Because the biggest regrets in life we have, Are from all the opportunities we never took, and the fears we never shook, I guess it depends on your outlook... Don't believe me? Fine. Just don't leave me on the hook, Hanging like I wish I was sometimes, Yeah the same vanity keeps me on the books, There's no mystery why I won't go down in history, Because I'm still coming up like a certain city, Well hey, glad to get this off my chest.. Got some things to do before I lay me down to rest, Cross this off my checklist, Check this... I'm checking out before I get too restless, I wrote this whole thing with a felt tip on a melt trip that ended in a slow drip landed on a smelt flip, I felt this, I did... Peace....
