    Mid-Night In My Mind

    Mid-Night In My Mind: Drew Lancaster

    The day is at its end

    My head heavy in thought

    I close my eyes

    Struggle through tears

    If only a friend could be bought

    What would I tell her

    What should I say

    Would she understand

    This game of life

    The cards I've been dealt

    Would she want to play

    Does she posses the strength

    Or get lost in her thoughts

    These stripes I wear

    The price I paid

    Accepting the cost

    Lingering landmines are too close for comfort

    One more step, she frets

    A storm exagerated

    Fearing thunder

    What she cannot see

    Stop and stare

    She's scared

    Her mind left to wonder

    Every night I fool myself

    This might be bought

    A costly friend

    Kind and understanding

    Loveing what was once lost

    A man tired and wounded

    Struggling to carry his cross

    No wings to help me fly

    No halo on my head

    Another night, another cry

    An angel left for dead

    (Fearing thunder What she cannot see) - Good catch here. Never thought of it that way. Hearing the sound but fearing what we can't see. Emotions pour deep throughout. Agony. Torment. Restlessness. Turning in on itself. Well expresssed piece.
