Midnight strikes

My sleeping pattern faint

Awake through these endless hours

Regretting my mistakes

I used to fall asleep so sound

Now all I hear are the echos floating around

Surrender flags destroyed in mid air

A solitude without a pair

Hate should be seeping through these veins

The anger coming up second place

It's searching for

The choice of another gate

Blame it on you

Blame it on me

Blame it on a Monday

Since it's the only day

We choose to run away from

Because we hit the beginning too soon

Love

A ghostly shadow

Haunting my innocence

Pushing me over the edge

I held on believing you were that love of my life

Stopping me from soaring over the ledge

My wings have spanned

My departure left before I could place these feet

My arrival has no set time

As the clouds become friends

Hoping they can clear my mind

Though I'm not quite sure they can this time

And I wonder why I've lost my sleep

In the middle of a lonely restless night
