It comforts me to see
the house next door
with its lights still on
at this hour of the night.
Because it's good to know
I am not the only one
who has trouble with sleep.
And I'll lay in bed
for what seems like hours
as a minute passes by
and thoughts fly through my head.
And I can't help but think
that there is no point
to anything I do.
It is all leading up
to that one fateful day
when my life decides
to run away from me
because it got too
scared to stick around.
But sometimes I wonder
when my life will begin.
When I'll wake up each day
awaiting something new.
Instead of dreading morning
because every day's the same.
And I'm up late again
because there's no point in sleep
and the neighborhood
is screaming in its silence
as families quietly sleep
though they know that
tomorrow is just like today
and yesterday's a memory
of a place you wish still existed.
It's comforting to see
the house next door
with its lights still on
at this hour of the night.
