Only Nine


ShySoul

Recommended Posts

Lying in the dark, staring at the clock

Only nine, slumber won't come

But I'm not sleepy anyway

Exhausted, tired, worn out with the fight

The weight of all these hours

A neverending struggle to make through the day

 

Another day of tears flowing from my eyes

Crying, drowning in a river

Only no one can see

They would never know, never suspect

A Great Pretender, held together with a smile

Still a soul dying deep within me

 

Which is worse?

The nightmares that haunt my dreams?

Or the one I live while awake?

Walking through the world alone

No one ever at my side

A steady, constant heartache

 

Distract myself with thoughts of a better life

Someone there to hold and understand

Making everything alright

But alas the fantasy never comes true

Drift off only to repeat again

Another lonely day to turn into lonely night
