"Losing Sleep"

 

 

What am I supposed to say?

Its just a crush; it'll go away.

I don't want to fall too deep.

There's no point in losing sleep.

Wasted words and wasted breath,

But wasted thoughts will be my death.

This emotional circumstance

Should never have come to pass.

Its too late to return from here,

And I am blinded by my fear.

Maybe if I close my mind

Serenity I will find.

But to set my heart free

I must find the stolen key.

Mass confusion inside me;

Fleeting daydream imagery.

You'll be gone before I know;

Before I choose which way to go.

I shouldn't worry;

I shouldn't care.

This torment is just unfair.

In this moment you are

A flickering falling star.

As I dream here so silently

I'm wishing you were wishing for me.

These stars in my eyes shine bright;

Blinding me of my insight.

But I feel alive down deep

And maybe that's worth losing sleep.
