my heart is heavy

my heart is sinking in my chest 

and i do not know why 
so i look to artificial heat 
from the space heater to warm me 
but it doesn't cast a wide enough net 

to engulf me in it's warmth

my heart is sinking in my chest 

and i feel lonely 
so i am keeping myself up 

by pondering if the direction im headed in 
is right for me.  i conclude now isn't the time 
to worry about it.

my heart is sinking in my chest 
because i don't have a job 

and i'll be alone and i can't deal with that 
but there isn't anything i can do 

my heart is sinking 
because i feel like i am wrong 

in almost every situation 
all i see are my flaws 

my heart is sinking

because youre asleep 

and all i want is for you to be here.
