Sleep Over
On a mattress on the floor
A warm summer night
A fan from above
And a snore from next to me
I have my best friend for a sleep over
As I have one of my sleepless nights
A night of disappointment
A night of terrifying feelings
As I think that I am alone
As I think that no one is here
As I think of what made me happy
I think of what was
I think of who I want
Who I cannot have
Who will never be mine
The pain is taking over
My face is fading
My heart is failing
My life is a game played by too many
