a glimpse of the past

at night when the terrible mr.death stalks me as i sleep, i try to
soothe the mind with thoughts of things i love

and then the things i loved pass by
and i can't breathe suddenly
and i lay still
and i cry

you've been reduced to nothing more than an intrusive thought and truly i believe that is the worst punishment of all

you once had my entire heart
now you invade my mind
and tear me apart
from inside out
till i want to scream
till i pray i sleep forever
but end up not sleeping at all
lying awake
and awake
till dawn

with you
