Can of worms

Can one be to tired to care?
Closing my heart till your not there.
Can one forget the times that you felt?
Slowly strangled by a suffocating belt.

Can thoughts of sleep keep you awake?
Whilst loosing yourself till your heart break.
Can your inner thoughts softly fade at night?
Just to return when you wake up in fight.

Can I forget you as days pass me by?
Without wasting thought on saying goodbye.
Can a life of learning disappear within a week?
By trying to catch up with life - a death so to speak.

Can duty take the place of joy?
Am I turning into a toy?
Can you save me from this pain?
It's my sanity I need to regain.

Give me the first prize.
Need to close my eyes.
Will sort you tomorrow.
No more sorrow.
