Favorite Quote:
“If you stare at the center of the universe, there is coldness there. A blankness. Ultimately, the universe doesn't care about us. Time doesn't care about us. That's why we have to care about each other.” <br /> ― David Levithan, Every Day


Darkness covers me like a blanket

as I fall asleep.

It consumes and entrances me,

as I restlessly struggle to not think.

 

Knowing that you aren't here to hold me.

That my sun is long gone,

far away in another land.

I twist and turn fighting the beasts.

 

So, as I struggle with the darkness

Even tho you are nowhere near,

and as crazy as it might seem.

I can't help but ask,

are you thinking about me?
