Nick Lacey Poems

Another sleepless night thinking, just thinking
An empty gaze to you, no breathing or blinking
There's something about you; I just can't shake it
Your beautiful eyes or the happiness you emit
...

Countless days passed and I just waited
As my dream of us keeps getting more and more faded
I can't let this happen; no, not this time
The mountain is in front of me and I'm ready to climb
...

The towers come down with a loud blast
From that point on, we're doomed to relive the past
Distractions caused for alternative reasons
The tide has shifted, and it's a new season
...

The endless pursuit of dreams cut short by fear
Only one day to do it, but drags on for a year
Living with regret the rest of our lives
Day by day he only just survives
...

She sits up at night waiting for him to come home
But he's sitting at the bar are alone
Complaining about how unfair his life is
No sports car, and that promotion should've been his
...

All the hate raining down on you
People always putting you down, who knew?
Making comments like 'You're gay' or 'Nice weight'
Why can't we all just be kind
...

The boat has sprung a leak
The naive sailor proclaims 'We aren't weak! '
But the wise captain seeks more teak
In other to make a small tweek
...

One is the only number I've ever known
Just me and only me all alone
Thinking about all the times with you
Acting like we ever had a clue
...

Headphones in, mouth full of strife
Can't be bothered to explain the story of my life
To random strangers who only heard a rumor
Growing to the state of a cancerous tumor
...
