Which one wins

It's a quarter till midnight
as the lantern starts flickering
the pen shakes fiercely in his hand
thoughts of his love, have driven him insane
he can barely see the paper for little light
but can't seem to think, from all the loud bickering
few lines get dotted down , that was the plan
yet his mind is beginning think, poor heats in pain..©2007 Tracydr42
