Restless again
My heart is heavy, my mind is light
I don’t know if I can fight a good fight
I toss and turn, restless all night
You say yes, but I say no, it won’t be all right
I retrace my steps to see where I went wrong
Illusional, delusional, I thought our love was strong
Now in retrospect, I ask, did you just play along?
My heart reluctantly says no, my mind is gone
My anxiety fires up, my body shuts down
No more tears please, least I should drown
Stay strong, stay strong, least I should breakdown
No one cares, not at least in this town

I think this is my fav of the ones I've read so far... if not for my own lack of retrospect, I probably could've gathered a series of thoughts like that from my own life... but I like how well they're expressed. It's straightforward, but has a powerful backing in heart and feeling.
Yup. Definitely a fav.

Consider this: Light and darkness are two opposing extremities--and neither exists without the other...
Love and hate are two extremities--so can those who claim to hate no one ever truly love?
