I Lie Awake
I lie awake at 2 in the morning,
missing you like grass misses rain.
I lie awake at 4 in the morning,
thinking about you like Einsein thought about everything.
I lie awake at 6 in the morning,
dreading to get up and have to see you happy without me.
I lie awake at 8 in the morning,
trying to focus on what's important, school.
I lie awake at 10 in the morning,
watching, waiting for you to come into class.
I lie awake at 12 in the afternoon,
loving, admiring your magnificent smile while laughing.
I lie awake at 2 in the afternoon,
praying to go home and not cry.
I lie awake at 4 in the afternoon,
doing homework, trying to stop the feelings.
I lie awake at 6 in the afternoon,
covering my head with a pillow, waiting for the tears to come.
I lie awake at 8 at night,
too sick to eat, talk, even breathe.
I lie awake at 10 at night,
staring at the ceiling and wishing you were next to me.
I lie awake at 12 in the morning,
stressing about every little thing I did wrong and how I wasn't good enough for you.
I lie awake at 2 in the morning,
pleading this will stop soon.
