In Too Deep

Sucked in too deep
I don’t know what to do
But try and sleep
With the thoughts of you

Circling my head
Trying not to dream
Yet it happens again
Viewing nothing as it will be

My heart wanders on turning the page
Wondering what will be
When I reach the end of this daze
Will I ever end up happy

So I move on and I’ll make it through
More nights trying to fight
Not wanting more dreams of you
No more dreams, not tonight

Wishes

I’ve made some wrong choices
Chose the wrong paths
Silenced my voice
Struggled through the aftermath

My heart has paid the hefty price
My questionable future as well
We all have our vices
I feel as if I’m under a spell

Locked in a few years too late
Trying to make right what is wrong
I fear I’ve sealed my fate
It took me too long

The choices are set in stone
My heart does continue to mend
So I’ll figure this out alone
Throwing wishes to the wind

Space

Here in the dark as I try to sleep
The words wrap around me

Cradling me inside of them
As if they were your arms

Holding me close as I breathe in
Thinking of this curse and our sins

I know what I feel, I believe you too
But my heart is breaking that’s the solid truth

So I lay here in the dark
Waiting for that spark

Your fingers to touch my skin
Awake me from deep within

But alone I lay with the sadness in my heart
The tears they comfort me yet I’m still torn apart

So the words you send comfort me
As I think of what will never be

My heart yearns to know you
To be connected more that’s true

But I will always be the one that got away
And you will always be the one that strayed

Numb

Differences may keep us apart
But as I lay in bed alone in the dark

My heart yearns to be next to yours
Through the space between my mind soars

Imagining a day where I can be free
Where nothing comes between you and me

Yet I know deep down that day will never come
And following my heart is making me numb
