I lie my head on my pillow,
Trying to sleep,
Wash away my memories with sleep.
Wash the word lonely from my mind,
Until it's just something my dreams designed,
But I know tomorrow I will face it again,
The feeling of being alone coming back to mind.
Not any hours of sleep can mend these hours lost,
People always ask me why I am so refreshed after such a day of being lonely,
All I tell them is,
Sleep does wonders.

&quot;I&#039;m in love with you, and I&#039;m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I&#039;m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we&#039;re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we&#039;ll ever have, and I am in love with you&quot; - The fault in our stars
