Playing Savior In My Dreams

by Amie*Pisces* - Not entered

It doesn't seem to make a difference anymore.

I tell myself to keep my heart this time,
when I'm lying with you, your arms all twisted up
around my soul, setting a pace that's delicate
but so uneven.
I get so lost in your eyes.
Twisting and spinning
and sinking an falling
into depths I can't quite comprehend.
I feel the tiny tendrils of fear
worming their way into my thoughts.
It's all so familiar,
like the shattered eyes I see in the mirror.
You'll kiss me, and I'll die a little bit.
You'll bring me home, and I'll stare at the bed and cry.
It's empty and cold, and I can't stand to sleep alone
with you playing savior in my dreams.
So, if I cry, don't ask me what I'm thinking,
don't make me tell you what's on my mind.
Don't make me say that you've become a part of me,
because those words tear my up inside.

I told myself to keep my heart this time,
but it doesn't seem to make a difference anymore.
