&quot;The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don&#039;t always soften the bad things, but vise versa, the bad things don&#039;t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.&quot;<br /> -The Doctor


I can’t sleep, I stay awake
Obsessing over the fact that I’m always thinking of you.
I’m missing meals, forgetting work,
Ignoring the fact that it will never work.
Me and you.

I’m always sore, black and bruised inside my heart.
Time keeps us apart, and society rips us away.
I wish this wasn’t how it was,
It’s not how it should be.

When I lie awake at night, my heart splits in two.
Every thought of you, every day, makes me wish that things weren’t this way.
Everytime we speak, my broken heart heals, but then I remember
Your hers and no one else's.
Your not mine, you’ll never be.

But in my dreams, things are different.
I just wish you could see what I want to be our reality.
Life isn’t fair, and in my despair, I realize
Sometimes the one you want is not the one you need.
My restlessness is significant to my point of view,
And only adds to the wound I got from the cold shoulder of you.

I can’t sleep, I stay awake.
Obsessing over the fact that I’m always thinking of you.
I’m missing meals, forgetting work,
Ignoring the fact that it will never work.
Me and you.

I get numerous headaches, and persistent chest pains.
The space underneath my eyes is hollow and black,
I’m always tired, and overworked.
They tell me to get more sleep, or to take a break.
I’ve tried to get better, but my mind and heart are battling for control.
The thoughts of you drive me crazy, and distract me from the tasks at hand.

I guess I don’t know how I should get over it,
Or if it’s even worth all this stress.
You took my heart without even realizing that you made a mess.
Theses feelings I have, are not all that bad.
But the aftermath of loving you and getting nothing in return, shattered my heart like glass.

I can’t sleep, I’m always awake.
I’m dying of a devastating heartache.

Just another teen suffering from everything and everything. But I still manage to smile, so what's your excuse?
