In the midnight, still and deep

I close my eyes and try to sleep,

But broken dreams within my heart

Erupt in tears - I'm torn apart!

I want to run! I know not where.

I'm lost within my own despair!

This tangled web of pain and grief

Will not relent - gives no relief!

I cannot run. I cannot hide

From this remorse I keep inside!

My heart is shattered in my chest.

I cannot find a place to rest!

What can I do? Where can I go?

I must not let my feelings show!

I can't explain emerging fears.

I can't control the flowing tears!

I feel the trembling of my soul;

I know I've nearly lost control!

My very thoughts are quaking now -

Would someone help me? Please? Somehow?

Oh, well...I guess there's no one here

To help me calm my mounting fear!

So...in the midnight, still and deep,

I'll close my eyes and pray for sleep!

Trinka Powers - copr.1989
