To think this was all real at some point...
To think there was a time where you loved me with urgency,
With conviction.
To think that we used to kiss like the night was ours,
Like the stars were beneath our feet and time was infinite.
But now I lay here,
Empty bottles litter my room,
And the aroma of liquor leaves my lips.
To think that now I drown you out with substance,
When all I wanted was for you to never let me go.
But I am no longer a child dreaming of childish things,
My heart has seen pain,
My heart has seen jealousy,
My heart has seen you.
So now I lay here,
with mercy on my mind.
Remembering the time when monsters lived under my bed and not in my heart.
