"Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, in as much as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and very fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterward carefully avoid"John Keats

Alarm goes off.
Silence it.
I turn over thinking you’re there,
God, another dream.
I’m not going anywhere today,
I’m not doing anything today,
Because I can’t be with you today,
I fall back onto my pillow.
