goodnite, goodnite
I knew I should be sleeping
But I thought of you instead.
I let my mind converse with itself
of times of greater strength, a better place.
Things are never how you expect.
You’re coming in first,
Suddenly you’re second best.
I swear it feels I’ve lost for good.
I’ve heard their theories
That all is not lost
That time will heal my wounds
What do they know if they’ve never lost so much?
I’m simply who I am
I thought the path ahead was full of
Things I could count on, things I always wanted
How dare fate betray me.
If I could, I’d cover up the things
That have been so foul.
I’d turn you away from all that could hurt.
If only I was not simply me.
Now that life holds itself in such disarray,
That I beg to be given the slightest hope
For something better.
Where all went wrong, I think I know.
When it gets better, if only I knew.
This constant serving of bad luck is wearing.
I wish I knew if the theories were true,
For all I have is what made me happy from before.
