At night I lie awake trying

so hard to still
the pain of what I want,
The thought of what I really need,
I know I'll never have it,
but sometimes I wonder about the what if's,
In the morning I'm worn out and wish my mind would focus on the now instead of the what couldn't be's,
theres no reason to think of dreams for some are never ment to
come around!

This poem is about how I fell in love with a man who had only eyes for another woman, I'm still in love with this man, but I know he and I are not meant to be!
