Old habits die hard

There are days when I am stuck in my bed

pondering my days

and where my life has been led.

There are days when I feel alone

even with people

I'm all on my own.

There are days when I don't want to live

I can't receive

but there's nothing left for me to give.

There are days

when all I can feel in my soul

is darkness.

Old habits die hard.

But.

On those days

where i am stuck in my head.

I'll get a text

"I love you"

"I'm thinking about you"

"I miss you"

and a smile will creep upon my face

whether the darkness

wants it to

or not.

And my day immediately gets brighter
