I've spent many sleepless nights
Pondering why I feel so alone

Spent many waking hours
Looking back on my past with dread

I found an answer to my question
I found a reason for my mistake

I crave validation, but only if deserved
I crave a connection that I am unable to make
I want to be wanted

But still I lie awake
Pondering my mistake
Craving the connections I can't make
