it's 11:53 pm and i can't fall asleep.
the anxiety inside is raging like a wildfire,
heart racing, body aching,
tears falling into oblivion.

it's you that's keeping me awake.
you know my secrets that i never
planned to share.

you know my heart and the only
thing left inside is despair.

i just want you here with me,
holding me in your arms where
i'm safe from the fire burning around me.

but you're not here so i have to let the heat
consume what's left of me,
and let my soul turn to dust.
