'I promise I won't leave you tonight, I'll stay awake this time.' Perhaps I would believe you, if you didn't speak a lie. If you continued talking in a calm voice and kept your eyes awakened wide. Perhaps I wouldn't feel secondary and like I'm shattered on my insides. The silence stretches on in the chasms of my mind so I think of thoughts as if they are signs.
Perhaps I wouldn't be sad and that would be divine
Instead of keeping it under wraps and saying 'I am fine.' I see signs of warning and signs of dark deception but alas I'm only a backup for these complex computer simulations And my feelings have been nothing but invalidations to which I feel I'm owed compensation of which you look over from your seat upon the golden bed whilst you fall into deep slumber as soon as you rest your head.
