antes de dormir (before sleep)

Before I sleep the thoughts of life play in my head
The past, the present, the future
The words left unsaid
I contemplate life
What it offers
And what it gives
I seek for comfort in its passion
That gives me drive to wanna live
The words he once told me
I wonder if he meant it to be the truth
Or if it was all a lie
I fell under to
I wonder if my acceptance
Will take me far
That by moving half way around the world
Will lessen the pain from these scars
I wonder if I am good enough
Or if I ever will be
To have a man to think of me
Before he goes to sleep…
