I can not sleep,
for you are not beside me,
I toss and turn,
bury my head in my covers,
wishing I could bury my head in your chest instead,
my silent tears dissolve into the darkness
that surrounds me,
as I lay there
imagining your arms holding me,
holding me tight whilst I watch you slumber,
you look so beautiful, peaceful and it's comforting,
I feel safe.

but in reality,
I lay here cold and longing,
for you, my love,
I can not sleep.

there is nothing more i want
than to be with you
to lay in your bed
your arms wrapped around me
holding me tight

my hand in your hair
our noses touching
laying silently
just being

you are tired
your eyes are worn
you look adorable
and i want nothing more

Another waste of space
Another knot
Another fake face
A smile beginning to rot
Another reflection
On a cracked and dusty mirror
Another unlearned lesson
Through trail and error

Another grain of sand
Swallowed by the sea
Another wilting ****
Bowing to a tree
Another planted seed
That will never be

Another worm
Devoured by a bird
Another melody
To never be heard
Another gem
Vehemently deterred

Gawking over the shoulder of a stranger
But can you see through their eyes?
As they roll back to gaze through the sickness of their mind


What line does reality define?
What do lies whisper to the seekers of the truth?

We cannot say we are not alone
Yet we stand here side by side

Chosen by destiny, chasers of dreams
Condemned to the shadows
By the men who froze the sun

Is our future merely an illusion
Or are we drowned by self doubt
