I don't know what to think,
what to do or how to feel...
How do you think?
What do you do?
How do you feel?
Maybe I could do the same, since I already rely too much on you...
How did I get so dependant? I can't, I just can't on my own...

I see the future that I want,
I feel the desperation of mine,
I taste the bitterness of disappointment,
I smell my failure to come,
Last but not least, I hear myself being rejected...

I've been set free
Into this new existence
My room quiet and lame
As I fill the distance

With pictures, presents
Memories and thoughts
Fragments of moments with you
I've almost caught

But you, beyond the picture
Beyond my laptop screen
Are hidden from me
And all I see

Is the space between us
These mazes lined up to block my favourite view in the world.

I can't reach you with my fingers
And I can't feel you smile in my sleep

But if I could, I would
Wrap you in my covers
And lie with you
In this bed I've made for us.

Eyelids drooping
My body aches for respite, for rest
Yet I still try my best
To fight this weak human need
Just so that I can see
Through the darkness
With weary eyes
Your name
Flash in a blur
On my phone screen
Just so that I can read
Your words
Hear your voice
Your soft, low tones
Echo in my head
Just so that I can pretend
You are here with me.

I miss you so much
It is an ache that pains me more
Than my lack of sleep
Between those few hours of solace
We have together
Th ache grows
Only temporarily subsided
By the thought of you
Lying awake, thinking of me too.

So I'll keep denying myself sleep
Just to feel the familiar
Rush of happiness
Swelling up inside
When I see your name
Lighting up the long, cold nights.

When life gets to be too much, we set ourselves a new reality...
I just wish it were true and not but just a dream of what I wish real life would be...
That moment when your distorted view of things shatters and you're slapped in the face with reality.

What I perceive may not exist,
but none the less
that perception does...
Over thinking things that may not come true is useless but yet still a real problem.

Happy things=happy thoughts.
What does bring, rotten thoughts?
So many things, I better not, but isn't it worth a shot?
What do you say-shall I or shall I not?
Think of horrid rotten thoughts?
I just don't know anymore...
