you're my nightmare

Don't go to sleep
You whisper through our texts
I'm tired I mumble
I stay up with regrets

You make me smile
You make me cry
You're constantly saying hello
And never goodbye

As I listen
And as you speak
You make my heart melt
You make my knees weak

So much that I fall
And land at your feet
But instead of helping me up
It's your darkness I meet

I'm getting flashbacks
Of things I don't want to remember
Like how we first met
When I saw you standing there

You're a demon of my mind
Who keeps me up at night
You have me trapped in our texts
And in your arms so tight

Choking my thoughts
And numbing my head
I don't want to be with you
I'd rather be dead

I don't sleep
But I'm called a dreamer
I just want to go on more adventures
So never say never

But I will say stop
Messaging me
When you know I'm up
It just makes me want to escape

The stars in the sky
Can't make me believe
I'm lost in space
I can't live today

And instead stay up for tomorrow
While you sit there and laugh
Your texts show aggression
But I keep hoping it will pass

I keep saying yes
You keep saying no
You keep pushing my limits
And I simply don't know

What to do
Or how to reply
I keep asking myself what to do
I keep asking myself why

Why I stay
Why I'm scared
Why I continue
Why I am here

You're the last person I think of
Before I fall asleep
Stuck in the A.M.
And because of you I weep

Your voice replays in my head
I see you when I close my eyes
You don't need me at all
I'm destroying my mind

Looking for love
And living on caffeine
You are heartless
And you are mean

You're my nightmare
I wish it wasn't true
But here I am
Loving you

*****

I never sleep, but that's okay.
