I want to scream
Pain pulses through my body
I want to wake up from this dream
This image was much too shoddy
I see your face when I sleep
You tell me everything is okay
This sharp stab runs deep
My fears you tried to allay
I'm not soothed, not one bit
It hurts too much to be awake now
The flames flicker in a blackened pit
You'd be here always, that was your vow
I no longer see you, I can't feel you
You promised me that it'd be fine
I cannot trust what I never knew
How can I be in a future that wasn't mine
You spoke their names, ones you shouldn't know
How is it that you knew those names
Using their names was a low blow
You never used me to play games
I have to believe you...it was too real
You did visit me, to help take my pain
But even now, it's something I still feel
It doesn't hurt as much after the rain
I'm okay after hearing you again
I'll live like you never could
I won't be like I was back then
I will stand where you once stood
My head is high
My heart is light
You're in the sky
And I can fight
