Longing To Be Home

You are in my mind Day or night At school or at home With friends or alone It’s a constant stream of You, you, you. You’re the thought That keeps me going Through the hardest of times. And the texts That make me smile like an idiot. You keep me eating You keep me sane Hell; you keep me breathing Every single day. But you’re over there Somehow sound asleep And I’m over here Crying; because I miss you And because I should be there Curled up with you. It’s the one place My body feels safe enough To slowly fall asleep.
