every night

it’s really hard to sleep in a cold bed.

with every move the cold screams , “you’re alone!”

no one to hold & no one holding you.

you don’t exist - you’re unknown

to this harsh world and ,

yet , full of love & warmth ,

every night , it’s the same pattern.

with each move forward , she reached for a glimpse of light. 

with each move forward , the dark pressed on. 

steady reaching , moving. 

her chest felt heavy as she realized there was no end for her. 

there was no light , only more shadows. 

the shadows crept in the background , yet seemed to laugh in her face.

the problem is

the problem is memories.

they last too long. they linger in my head. 

the good, the bad, they all get mixed together. 

i remember all the wrong, all the shit i said, 

so i sit here wondering if i'll remember forever. 

 

the problem is emotions.

can i go too?

the sky will cry,

just not over you.

let go

i think it is time to let go

 

the cloud is forming again

the dark is calling again

my heart doesn't beat the same

smiling doesn't feel the same

i am not your path

my eyes caught yours

but i was nowhere in grasp

 

my smile became contagious

but you took it just as fast

 

my love showed you the world

it just wasn't your last

full of color

i see gray

full of love

but no one stays

full of existence 

but why me

the world is beautiful

just not today
