Stop and Rest

I told myself
I'd put my pen down
so I can finally rest

But how can I sleep
when my mind is restless

How can I keep still
when my heart is racing

How can I move on
when I thought you were the best

I told myself
I'd stop writing
About heartbreaks and tragedies

But how can I stop
when it was all I ever knew

How can I quit
when you're the only vice I'm willing to keep

How can I leave
when you were all that ever is
