Thoughts

When they won’t stop

My thoughts

My mind

Is everywhere

But here

*****

Racing

Raging

Ricocheting

Round and round

*****

What did I do?

What did I say?

Can’t stop the words

From repeating

*****

The scenario

The setup

I missed the mark

Now I’m left

*****

With shadows

Of my words

That will forever

Haunt me

*****

Sleep

Oh! Allusive sleep!

Settle my brain!

Take control

*****

Tomorrow

This will pass

If only I could

Just sleep

*********

How many times have we regretted the words spoken or failed to say. As we lay our head upon the pillow, suddenly all the right words find us, holding us captive to their futile loop! Here’s to those moments.
