You asked me what I wanted and I'll tell you this
I don't wanna be left alone in my thoughts tonight
I don't want to hold on to the past
But I wish this time would linger
That every minute would hold an hour for me
Talk as if you remember how close we once were
And let the sarcasm rest for a while
Just for tonight can we vow to forget transgressions
Showing familiar faces
Sharing familiar words
There's very little I can do to keep from crossing lines
It's been so long since it has crossed my mind
But rare nights like these stir something inside
Things I thought had finally been settled
Let's not be frustrated
Poised to lie with a smile
Be honest
Be compromised and weak
No gates to pass through
No baggage to claim
No tags to remove
Just get onboard

Hmmm, this is an interesting work. I did get the title "Red Eye" in a manner - though how much I got of the intended, I am unsure. Also, I like the expressions used in places the over all thoughts posed. Being free verse it didn't adhere to a form, but I liked the rhyming where it was. I did feel that the ending could have had a little more punch, but that could be due to me not fully appreciating the last line as was intended. Over all an interesting work!
