there's times
when i go to sleepsleeping deeply
i imagine myself
in your arms
holding meas you whisper
your apologies
in my earand i cry
pour oceans
out of my eyeswaterfalls
falling over cliffs
after borders
finally be broken downi cant tell if it's
a dream or a nightmarebut i do know
i wake up scaredand i'd
have many dreams like thatas i try
to forget
all the different
types of hurti've been put through
try to heal
bruises and scars
wounds deeper
than i'm able to handlebut then
you come again
and come againlike your trying
to explain everything
in my heador maybe
all i want is just one word
from you
insteadmaybe
i just need you
like you needed mewrap it all up
because no matter what
i'm always bleedingbleeding memories
of you leavingtrying to find
remediesas i remember you
weeping
grievingsometimes
i dream of you
shaking my hand
fighting for mestroking my head
as you remind me
of your loveand i can only be
graced with slumberthen i wake up.
