It's impossible to like you

I never truly did


It's impossible to like you

when I’ve always loved him
Even though we're not together,
we’ll always have this thing
Me for him
him for me
We’re simply meant to be.

Time ticking on the wall
It enters my thoughts, consumes them all
Envelops me, body and soul
It simply devours me whole
Why do I care? Why am I concerned?
I wish I had never learned
Then I wouldn’t know what the ticking meant
And to my mind it wouldn’t make the slightest dent
I need to tear it down, that petrifying sound
Break free and live my life unbound
So here I go and down it crashes
To me all time turns to ashes
I am free - free to soar
Inside I hear time’s distant roar

I can’t get to sleep
Because my brain over thinks

I wish I could shrink it

For a night at least,
Just close my eyes and drift off 

But my mind is racing
Steadily chasing
The thoughts overcoming me,
The thoughts keep outrunning me
I wish I was with you
I can't help but miss you
I try to tell myself otherwise
Keep piling lies on lies
I wish the lies were true
I don’t know why I want you
Alone the sleep won’t come
But you’re not coming either

I glance out the window
It’s still there
The wall
I built it there last winter
After you left
I thought you would stay for good that time
I know better now
The snow is beginning to fall again
So I know you’ll be by soon
This time it will be different
The wall is strong and steady
You won’t be able to break it down
Thanks to you, no one ever will

I reached out
I grasped a handful of sand
I held so tight
The small grains fell right through my fingers
I tried to catch them
They ignored my attempt
Crashing to the ground
I fell with them
Buried my face in the sand
And let the ocean pull me in

I wish I didn’t want you
If only it was a decision
A conscious one anyway
Why you out of everyone?
You’re nothing special
Is what they all say
But they don’t know you
I speak as if I do
Maybe my mind is tricking me
Playing a harmless game
Only it’s not harmless
I'm falling
I’ve fallen
For you
You look me in the eyes
And
Walk away

Astronauts dance across you
Leaving trails of star dust and milky way paths
Illuminated by the glow of the night
I trace the patterns with my earthly fingertips
Jumping from star to star and moon to moon
I say you belong in outer space
You're far too perfect for the world I'm bound to
I star gaze at your eyes, the planets of your soul
Smile, see what I see, my dear
For you are my beautiful atmosphere
