Late- Night Confusion

Confusion is a state of mind

And to state my mind would be trouble

To be your friend is better than nothing

But to be your girl was so much better

I think my heart is trying to heal

But my body won’t seem to let it

Nights are lonely stretches of desert

And your voice is an oasis

Where do I go from here

Where do I tuck these thoughts and feelings away?

So that I can be the strong woman you adore

And, a productive member of society.

I’ll tuck them away in a drawer somewhere

Marked “private” or “For your eyes only”

I’ll leave them there til the day is done

And late at night, when the world sleeps

I’ll take them out, read them aloud

And hold them close

Along with the memories of your love.
