nightmares replace what dreams may come...

woke up this morning about 4am
tossing and turning with dreams in my head
and its the same old shit everyday
thoughts of me and you from back in the day
fast forward to new thoughts
much different from the old
thoughts of where you were last night
and why you couldn't pick up the phone
roll out of bed to start my morning routine
check my phone for calls unreturned
check for emails you never sent
turn the tv on to distract my brain
hours go by without a blink
meals missed without a thought
the sun goes down without notice
and the distractions nothing more than lies
my brain never leaves the focus of your face
nor the thoughts of your current place
before i know it midnight passes by
my eyes glazed but wide
as i lay me down to sleep tonight
i'm afraid to turn off the lights
for when everything else calms and fades
the demons dance with ferocious intensity
one last look at a quiet phone
before the thoughts race back to where the day began
as 4am creeps back around
nightmares replace what dreams may come
