It’s quiet tonight

and I’m all alone.

Exhaustion overtakes my body

but sleep evades me.

I close my eyes

and the show begins.

Memories, moments

they all jump out at me.

Its hard to tell the

bad from the good

because the pictures

move quickly.

Is there a switch

or perhaps a remote,

that will turn off the picture

or set it to mute.

I’ve searched and I’ve searched.

But there is no switch

because the moments

will last forever.
