One Midnight

One midnight, 

you will be home, 

but feel stranded in a distant island, 

and the songs you loved play in the background, 

sounding more like dirges than 

songs you can dance to.

Sombre 

something grates your heart, 

you try so much not to think at all 

DON'T THINK! DON'T THINK!

Your brain doesn't obey the command, 

It says that these are affairs of the heart 

And it must be involved - it is the self-appointed judge, jury, witness, 

and the advocate

The brain commands you to picture 

the love of your life 

in someone else arms 

And you do - who are you to disobey a wise man? 

The clock past midnight 

and the dirges play on ... and on
