2 AM

I lie awake at night
With all these thoughts running through my mind
The darkness shines a bright light
On the things, I thought I left behind
Feelings are haunting/
When the silence is screaming
And I can’t stop listening
Though I can’t hear anything
Why won’t you let me sleep?
Coming back
It’s always coming back
Back into my head
When the day is dead
Go ahead
Because the things I said
Seem to matter most
When I’m alone in my bed
How does something that should
Be so comfortable
Make me feel so insecure
And vulnerable?
I always fear the worst
And imagine it in my mind first
Things I know that will never be
Anticipate catastrophe
Feelings are haunting
When the silence is screaming
And I can’t stop listening
Though I can’t hear anything
Why won’t you let me sleep?
The stone in my throat won’t let me breath
There’s no space here anymore
‘cause this goes down to the core
I know I’ll wake up tired and sore
Just like all those times before
