literature

I need another story

Something to get off my chest

I can't sleep, I get no rest

Awake in the nights

I toss and turn, I feel a burn

Where there's a pain in my heart

I don't know where to start

To begin, where do I go

Without you I don't know

This week I cried

Last year i lied

But at least I tried

To make you happy

And give you what you wanted

My room seems haunted

As I'm taunted

With what once was

Because

You're like a song stuck in my head

That I can't get out

I should've taken a different route

To escape the fate

Opened a gate, but it's too late

I'm here and you're there

You broke me and didn't care

I want something else

A new path to follow

I'm empty inside, hollow

I just need another story

something else to read

I'm tired of the same unhappy ending

It's not what I need

What I need is you

No, I want something new

But who

No one can be

To me

The way you once were

Do I really want this

I can't be sure.
