Woke Up
Last night I woke up
I had been living a dream
And for a while it seemed
So real.
Caught in the moment
Mirages appeared in front of my face
Of what it would be like to embrace
Love.
I needed to wake up
I filled my heart and mind with hope
Living a lie that I’d soon choke
On and be disappointed.
I’m making the same mistakes
Why can’t I learn from the past?
Why won’t these things ever last?
Am I doing something wrong?
I am awake
Although I’m broken, my mind is clear
My heart is hard there’s not a single tear
On my cheek.
I am used to this
Feeling like nothing goes right
Looking so deeply with nothing in sight
In the end.
For me this is normal
I’ll just forget about this one
Move on and then some
One will come along again.
A cycle I can’t help but repeat
I never learn, I never seek
A solution.
