~Inspired by one of my closest friends who is currently going through probably this thing right here. She said she can relate so I have an impression this would be slightly accurate.~

Bed-ridden thoughts I loathe because I close my eyes

And you swirl your way through the dark

And I lay awake thinking of possibilities

Of images you gave me to dream

Give me a wink of sleep will you


But you don't get a second of sleep either

Because as the Greenwich line dictates you're ahead

And I am left behind in the hours of past

Probably waiting to catch up with you

But you don't get a second of sleep either


Because you do the waiting instead.


The morning isn't any different as you linger

Infiltrating my mind when I try not to

Kill my thoughts. "Die," I say.

You're making me die over and over again.

Let me live quietly.

I don't want this.


I don't because it will hurt me in ways

I don't want to be hurt again.

"But you won't hurt me," they say.

Sure, but what if I'm the one to hurt you.

Because you wrap me up in a warm blanket of words.


With you halfway around the globe

And I'm here with you hoping you know

How much I am screaming with words I want to say

Because you've made me do something I haven't in a while

Try, risk it, until I fall down again.
