Impulsive

This is a poem I wrote in 2016. I imagine all of my poetry set to music but I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. This poem I imagine set to the tune of Don’t Cry by Guns ‘N’ Roses.

Another day over
And you need your sleep
But you know that this night
You'll run out of sheep
I know what you're thinking
Because we're the same
You're thinking of the one
That you pushed so far away, baby
So why don't you say hi tonight?
You know God loves you, baby
Why don't you put it right?
Just call him up tonight
Heaven watches out for you, baby
Why not give it a try tonight?
 
You've tried it all
It always turns out bad
Your heart can't take another try
The thought makes you too sad
Patience is a virtue
Sometimes waiting is best
Prudence is healthy, but
This is not the day - for it
So why don't you try tonight?
You know God loves you, baby
Why don't you set it right?
Don't go down without a fight
Heaven has your back, now, baby
Why not give it one more try tonight?
 
Give it a try tonight
You know God loves you, baby
Isn't it about time to make things right?
You just might fly tonight
It'll work out for good, somehow, honey
Why don't you try tonight?
 
You won't listen to me
You've heard it all before
Don't listen to me, baby
But don't expect to ever be sure
You may get hurt again
And get in it too deep
But isn't fighting with new problems
Better than counting sheep, now darling?
Don't wait another night
You know God loves you, baby
It just might be all right
Just accept now all your fright
It's only natural, baby
Give it another try tonight
 
So, why don't you say hi tonight?
You know God loves you, baby
Why don't you put it right?
Just call him up tonight
Heaven watches out for you, baby
Why not give it a try tonight?
