The Thoughts

The thoughts flow like water
Slowly rising to drown me
I try to run from the devilish thing
Yet I can’t ever flee
The thoughts are of me
They’re fearsome as beasts
They tear at my sanity
Their carnivorous feasts
I cry through my tears
I’m crying for help
Yet the thoughts silence me
As if I’m but a whelp
My heart beats for you
Yet you only know through my dreams
My words long for you
Yet they only come in silent screams
Please help me oh my lovely one
These thoughts of mine won’t stop
They come at me like fists at night
And they punch me ‘till I drop
I call to you with pleading eyes
Please keep me within your sight
I beg of you my beautiful
Just stay with me tonight.
