Must... get... sleep...

Just a silly 3am love song, but I like it. Anyone wanna put it to music? I'm tone deaf and arythmic... as you might be able to tell from the "metre"...

Writing Songs That You Should Sing

I dreamed a night ago, or two
That I had fallen hopelessly in love with you
I dreamed that we had sparked and flamed
And lain with one another naked and entirely unashamed
And in the dream I’d lost you some way
Perhaps you’d died, or gone away
But I was happy to have done so
For the chunk of my heart you’d taken below
(to the underworld or Australia, it really didn’t say)
Left me so much lighter than I’ve been
these real-life days

Very Rough Draft of the Beginnings of a Poem/Song of Which I Actually Really Only Like the First Verse

You were lying on your back in bed
With tears rolling into your ears
I was lying beside you inside of your head
As I had been doing all year
There were demons in your closet
Pulling fabric from your skirts
Putting bombs inside your pockets
While you deafened yourself, inert

You were grasping in vain at straws, my love
Shreds of intellectual dignity
In bed you gazed at those above
Composed your silly silent symphony
You were trying harder than you were before
Or trying to think about trying to try
But a one-woman show is so easy to score
And it felt so poetic to lie there and cry
