Can't Get You Out of My Head

As the last trace of sunlight makes way for the moon
And the stars begin their journey across the sky
I'm left within the darkness
Alone- My thoughts
As uncertain as the night
Fall to you
Haunting me
Unceasingly


Dana

    mm nice...i like your use of the night as uncertain...and it implies the dark thoughts of the haunting as well...

    Well penned.

      I really have no control, but I do try to distract which works for awhile. :) Thank you Mary!!

    the thoughts tend to find their own ways..esp. during the night when we come to a rest...

      You can definitely try to fight and avoid them, but they will find a way. Thanks Claudia!

    Thoughts..."uncertain as the night"
    I could write a song around those words--they grabbed me, Dana.

    Some beautiful lines here. Sunlight makes way for the moon and haunting me unceasingly. I agree with the folks suggesting lyrics. I think I've mentioned that to you in the past..you could be a song writer.
