dream of me
please dream of me tonight.
i know you have her in your arms
i know you have her on your mind,
but just for this one night,
please,
dream of me,
only me, tonight.
i don't know what i'm looking for,
i don't know what i want,
but,
somehow, somewhere,
you're always on my mind,
it's impossible i know,
to ask you,
to think of me,
love? me?
and i'm too proud,
too scared,
too vulnerable,
to ever ask, or tell…..
so, i'll dream of you instead,
as i always do,
and wait,
for my dawn, someday,
with you……
need
i need your love,
i need your hate,
i need even that scornful gaze.
just don't pass me by
a shadow on a wall
a footprint on the sands
washed off by the waves
make me sin,
make me pain,
even the most desolate rain
of your unshed tears
just not an unseeing glance
an unsung song
an unplayed melody
at your fingertips forgotten
make me cry
make me hurt
even shrivel me up inside
just don't give me the smiles
that darken your eyes
the warmth that leaves me cold.
your kindness, so cruel...
your soft, sweet words
that rip and bite and tear
down to my bitterest bones
give me your nightmares
your darkest thoughts
your deepest fears
the worst secret in your heart.
scream, shout, hit me even
lash out and break me
just spare me,
the false light in your eyes
your toxic laughter
your pity,
parading as love,
leaving me praying,
selling my soul,
a void in return……
forgetting all the while
who i was,
filled with the silence,
that is now my soul.
