Sleepless Nights

Sleepless Nights

A Poem by Mariah Jane

Sleepless nights, tear filled sighs…

Wondering how this could all be me.

Bitter thoughts, sweet memories…

Longing just to see,

 

I am really not alone,

I know there’s more to life out there then this

Why can’t I see

That through the pain and through the tears

There is something more for me out there…

There really is…isn’t there?

 

Loveless lives, fear ridden cries…

What is it about me?

Reaching out, pulling back…

I know I want more then that!

 

I am really not alone

I know there’s more to live out there then this

Why can’t I see

That through the pain and through the tears

There is something more for me out there…

There really is…isn’t there?

 

 

Repeat Chorus~

 

Bridge~

 

Reaching for something I know,

Crying for a hand to hold…

Where is it?

I need to know you’re out there for me,

Life me up and hold me in your arms!

I’m not alone…anymore.

So, while I've not heard this put to music yet, the words make this feel like it belongs in a Disney movie of some kind, early on when one of the main characters is pining for something more than this.

It's also one of my favorites, and I still have the recording we did that crazy night :)
