I Can'T Sleep

I can’t sleep

Reality crashes into me like a heavy wave of misery and self-hate

Street lights pass me by like little stars in the night begging me to stop before it’s too late

I can’t stop crying and my demons won’t seize

This pain is too much and I search for relief

I try to resist the urge to cut my life short but in my head all I can think is “What are you even worth?”

I’m trying to be brave and put a smile on my face and the more I think about it I realize, you are my saving grace.

My shooting star that I wish I could hold, my fire that warms me whenever I’m cold

I want to help pick up your broken heart 

You’re beautiful, an amazing work of art

For once in my life I am happy and you are making me fall for you

But I don’t think the feelings are the same and so I try not to

I’m sorry if it hurts you but my days I struggle to keep

I’m having a hard time staying alive and I can’t sleep
