I wouldn't mind losing sleep over you quite so much
If you were here to share the sleeplessness

There are better uses for these hours
Than lying alone in my bed

I imagine there's room
For both of us

Let's see

The stillness of my room
Is unsettling tonight
With no assurance that time is really passing
What is there to inspire me?

I lie in my bed
And take shallow breaths
If only I could be still enough

I've often heard
That when you hear a ringing in your ears
It means that someone is thinking about you

I'm sorry if the noise is keeping you awake

I live my life
Terrified of change
And haunted by permanence

I love watching flowers
Growing up through cracked pavement
And abandoned buildings
Crumbling, but somehow still standing
Held together by vines and moss
Cracked seashells worn smooth by the waves
And well loved jeans with fraying edges
Shards of glass scattered on roadways
Reflecting the sunset
And rusty keys, whose locks have long since ceased to exist

I'm trying so hard to learn to love myself
And the first step is accepting
That even broken things can be beautiful

The wind sounds like
It's trying to speak to me tonight
But it can't get the words out
So I don't understand
I can't understand
I think of you and realize
Maybe the wind and I
Aren't so different

We ran though rainbows that night
Before collapsing in the hall
It's the happiest I've been in a while
And I think there were muppets involved
But I can't be certain
It's days later now
And the air is thick
With gasoline and glitter
And the streetlights reflect
Off the broken glass on the pavement
I wish I could go back
But time is no longer
Happening all at once
Be not afraid
*It's just a game
