It is hard to dream of you at night Yet not see your face at all in the day I desperately need to hear your voice But when we talk I don't know what to say
I'm tired of living life like this I hate waking up knowing you're not there I'm still madly in love with you But you're too happy to notice or care
I just want to call you again And tell you how everything is wrong I wish I could let my feelings pour out I miss you and it's so hard to be strong
It doesn't matter what I do Or where I go, you're always on my mind I'm stuck in the past, I can't move on I'm not ready to leave this behind
I don't want to be with anyone else I forgive you but I can't forget I had the best year of my life with you And I'm not angry, just upset
I ask questions that have no answers Why did this have to happen to me? What did I do to do to deserve this? Who is it you want me to be?
I've tried to be enough for you But people can't change overnight And I'm starting to realize That with you I'll never win the fight.
One moment I think I'm still special And the next you prove that I'm not You used to text me all the time Now I'm just an afterthought
You're not afraid of losing me In fact it seems like you're doing just fine It's clear you don't need me to hold or kiss I wonder who will be your Valentine
I'm alone this year and memories Twist tightly around my bitter heart The empty space beside me is just a reminder that I'm still torn apart
I know that this sounds pathetic But I cry whenever I can't sleep I count the days we spent together Instead of numbers or jumping sheep
It's embarrassing but sometimes I talk to myself in the mirror I tell my reflection all of the words I want to stammer that you'll never hear
I'm longing to feel your arms around me No one has ever mattered this much I love how you light my skin on fire I hate that I'm sick without your touch
I despise the girl I've become Begging for your warm affection I fear that despite my best efforts I wont ever achieve perfection
I wouldn't ask you to be different I accept you for who you are In my eyes your flaws are beautiful I love and appreciate every scar
You're not the person I fell for You've changed but I still feel the same Even now you have the power To drive me crazy just by saying my name
I'm holding onto what we had Although everyone agrees I should let go Friends ask me why I can't move on I just shrug and say "I don't really know"
My bed is too big and cold these days My head is bursting at the seams It hurts to sleep alone at night But at least I have you in my dreams
This is one of my personal favorites. Very raw and real and emotional. Hopefully someone out there will find relief knowing that they are not alone in their pain. Thanks for reading!
