i've been asleep
for several years
chasing love that's toxic
believing i deserve all of it
'til one night
in my dream,
you found me
woke me up
from a nightmare
i've grown accustomed to
you took my hand
and washed away
the bruises on my skin
killing the demons from within
slowly and surely
i ceased to bleed
my tears wiped away
by your fingers so soft
your touch so gentle
i started to wake
startled
confused
i wondered if i was
going to be used
once again
but you said
you love me
and it didn't take much
for me to believe it
as if my heart
finally found the song
it's been looking for
all these years
and today,
i remain
in this dream
with you
feeling control
of my life
because for once
someone found me
when i didn't ask for it
and this person,
this precious
human
seek not to control me
seek not to manipulate
or captivate me
but only to make me happy
every second with you
feels like i'm lucid dreaming
never wanting to open my eyes
never wanting this dream to die
maybe there was a reason
after all
for all those heartaches
for all those mistakes
for all those people
who only knew how to take
they all led me to you
and i'm happy
i didn't fall away,
my heart didn't turn to grey
because the only one
who deserves to live
this dream with me
is you
