The Story Behind Country Poem #7: In The Deepest Part Of The Night

This is the one that was scooped up by Clark Ried, a New Zeland country music artist who put his music to my words.

I wrote this poem after waking up one night and seeing my ex-wife asleep. At this point there was a sure realization that soon I'd not have her in my life anymore, so I did a bit of reminiscing by looking into the future back at the past.

This was a time of unusual helplessness for me. I knew that the train wreck was coming, and there I stood on the tracks. Everything I could think of to change things came up with no answers. So all I could do was write it from a point of veiw that it was already over, because in a lot of ways, it was.
