Midnight Quills

It seems so long ago,
Lost days of my youth;
I thought that I could do it all
Alone

Stupid innocence

I know
Through years of mistakes,
A tormented life,
A twisted heart,
It all causes me pain.
I only want to be happy,
But that seems so far away.

Why?
Why must I suffer this way?
Why must I go through these days?
Why is the sky so blue,
The sun shining bright
When I am alone,
Sad,
Depressed,
Miserable?

Why indeed.

Stupid innocence

That thought I could do it alone.

I lie in bed
Awake,
And dreaming of a better day;
A day in which you
Fill my heart,
My soul,
My entire being.
When I am encompassed by your love
And your life.

And yet day by day,
Life only gets harder.

I want you.

I want you to hold me.

I need you.

I need you to stand beside me.

I love you.

Let me lean on you,
And call your name,
Because I can’t do it all alone.
