After Tonight

After tonight....

I once thought it was gone

how I was so foolish

I don't know

They had stopped for awhile

the dreams, apparently on pause

to return to me

when least expected

what is it that triggers them

How to explain to those that don't know

I'm not sure...

it's detailed, it's scary

it makes it hard to speak

the concentration required to not freak

it's intense the control required

to keep ones brain at bay

to control your thoughts

to stop the never ending fear

to stop the racing heart beats

some things fall by the wayside

when one has to concentrate so hard

the forming of words

the remembering to breath

just keeping it together

because it can't stop for a moment

nothing is more precious than that control

after tonight, will it be ok

can I let it go even just a little

I'm not sure, but perhaps

there is something out there worth trying for

something that will make you say after tonight

it will all be all right.

nothing will be the same

the dreams will go

it will be safe to close my eyes.

the world will feel right

dropping my guard will be allowed

what a relief that will be...

After tonight all will be well...
