I must be going insane.
Trying to forget you isn't helping
Because I see you
In every passing face,
And every thought
Leads me back to you. 

I can't stop this collapse,
When I wake you'll be gone
And I'll be left here alone.
Such a frightening thought,
And forgetting only
Makes it worse.

As everything unravels,
I can only watch in silence. 
My shaky hands
Reach out for you
Only to discover that you're gone
With the mourning light.

Trying to forget you only
Makes things worse, and
I can see my world falling apart
Around me.
Why should I try to fix it
When all that I love is gone?
