Fate

by Janice - Sagittarius

In the hot stifling heat of the night
In the dead of winter
I lie
Restless thoughts stomp across
my mind of things to come
Pushing out sleep making it
impossible to lay still
For who inhabits my mind
My thoughts
Causes the uncertainty
Causes the sleepless nights
Some good some bad
Is not here
For fate has not brought him to me
Where I can touch him and 
listen to him breath in the 
stifling heat of the night

Instead it is teasing 
playing with my mind
Making me wonder what I should do
night after night
until finally when my body
and mind are weak and 
about to give up
relief will come and fate
will decide for me
Laughing as he does so for 
the agony that I suffered
night after night
Because he knows and now I
Fate controls us all and 
we play the game 
We may win and we may lose
Yet I still play.
