Unrequited Self Love

I hurt for no reason

I’m sad with no cause

I’m alone in a crowded room

I cry everyday

For what

I don’t know

I wish my pain away

But wishing only makes it grow 

I ache for a time

I swore I wouldn’t miss

I yearn for a life

I swore I’d forget

For now

I have nothing

But the thoughts racing through my head

I’m terrified to tell you 

So I lie awake in bed

I pray for sleep, for comfort, for rain

I pray for anything to stop the pain 

I hurt for no reason

I cry for no cause

Just getting up today

Was enough as it was
