It happens most when I can't sleep.
No one's awake, they're snoring softly.
I've got bloodshot eyes, tear stained cheeks.
The memories of you haunting me.

I remember everything about us, about you.
Your gorgeous brown eyes and killer smile.
You're a nightmare, once a dream come true.
For you, I tripped and fell, running a thousand miles.

Bloodshot eyes, Tear stained cheeks.
A flash of silver, blood stained wrists.
I cuddle with your hoodie, I keep it with me.
Inhale your scent, so I can reminisce.

Your embrace, my only sense of comfort.
When you gave me your punisher jacket to cover my wrists.
But it could never cover the hurt.
The longing for love that would never exist.

Bloodshot eyes, tear stained cheeks.
Blades sliding down my skin.
I gave in, admitted defeat.
I know I'll never see you again.
