You Still Wake Me Up (In the Middle of the Night)

... Just to remind me that nothing is gonna be alright.

Why the f**k
Do you still haunt my dreams?
Go away! Leave me be.
I don't have the strength for these things.
Just leave me alone
I'm not here to fight with you
Or to fight for you
Regarding you, there's nothing I'm here to do
But doing nothing eats at me
This sick f*****g joke
Makes me choke
I need a smoke
When you wake me at 2am
Without so much as a sound
I open my eyes and quickly glance around
Relieved, I realize you're nowhere to be found
But now I am awake
The hours encroach as
Dawn approaches
Ending las Noches
And the dawn cannot get here soon enough.

Maybe tomorrow
You'll be gone
Before I close my eyes...
Maybe then
I can finally
Drive you from my mind...

[Rambling Prose]

This is a very poignant write which speaks of (to me) the stronghold one can have over another. Haunted and taunted by past relations or incidents. The unending battle of the mind, relentless even when we seek rest in the midnight hours.
