light in the woods

Cold sweats

Sick to my stomach

Wondering if im awake now 

Or if im just partly out of the dreams

Its how i wake up now

And im not rested

But i get up anyways

Because i know if i don’t,

Its just going to turn out worse

My days in bed are easiest thought

Sometimes i tell everyone im taking a nap

Getting some sleep

Resting my eyes

Just so i can lay down and stop

Stop dealing

With the world

With continuing

With being productive

With moving on

Its easy because i get to sit

And think

Pull myself up a little

Ill get better and do fine

Then i hear a song in passing

Someone says a phrase

Or a familiar name shows up somewhere

And the thinking goes sour

Until i fall asleep with a heavy heart thats sinking

Into the dark

The abyss

The world below 

And i wake up again in a cold sweat

And im tired still

Its not restful

Im tired in the eyes

And tired in the mind

Of 

All the constant feeling

And nauseas dreaming

And evil thoughts feeding 

On every seeming

Morsel im seeing or hearing

About the goings on in your world 

that

Im

Just not

In

Anymore…

And it kills me

I should hate you. 

I should be angry that I was left behind

In the darkest place i’ve ever been

With just myself

Without someone who said that they 

couldn’t see 

\where they would be

Without me

Walking along next to them. 

I should resent that you are effortlessly

Continuing to walk and thrive

Forgetting all about what you said before

Whats a promise to a happy heart?

But i have no anger

We were like two travelers

Walking through the woods with a lantern

Guiding us in the light

I see you continue to walk while i stand here

Ive stopped

You keep going

The light from your lantern getting further

The dark getting darker

Im sinking further into ever present blackness

I call out in vain, I scream, I cry

And you don’t even notice

You don’t notice I’m not walking with you

Because i am not important anymore

And i see your light dimming and dimming and dimming

And all i can think is

“I hope she finds someone else to carry the light with her again.”

And I wake in a cold sweat again.

Its 3am.

Ive been in bed for 12 hours.

I hope she’s okay.
