Asleep At The Wheel Poem by Gio Masserati

Asleep At The Wheel

Rating: 4.9


Asleep at the wheel
Of life
Literally
Figuratively
Tiredness
Overcomes me
But I must
Move forward
As my heart
Has spun
In circles
One last time


No more
Shadows
I give up
I give in

This monogamous body
Is
Done
Playing
....
....
....
I will close my eyes now

Please release my new single

Love's time has died
The record is scratched
Beyond repair

Time for a new director
Spin me anyway
But not in circles

I'm going to survive
But tonight
I'm Asleep
At the wheel

Tomorrow I will
Deal
With the honesty
That's staring
Faceless circles
Into poems
As I lay here
Asleep at the wheel

Defeated by
LIFE
HONESTY

And Unconditional love
For a man
That is anything
But not into
A monogamous relationship

Goodnight
Goodnight

A prayer for my husband
Out there
Somewhere?
I am officially ready
To meet my maker
Or meet
My destiny

You Will find me now
Asleep at the wheel

Goodnight
Goodnight
Sleeping

I Will Always Be
A One Man Woman

And I Will Never Be
With Him
A Two Timing Man

Welcome to reality
Just be thankful
For truth
Truth has surely
Set me free

I Deserve
My husband...
To be

A
One Woman
Man...

Until then
I will close my eyes
For I am too tired
Weary
Disillusioned

Goodnight
Goodnight

God help me
I've been sleeping

Asleep at the wheel

Wake up and put your shoulders to the wheel. You might be surprised where your traveling brings you.

You can feel your every word, heartache and exhaustion. When you just accept you have had enough and are strong enough to move forward. Here's to an amazing new year.
