Dream

by Twan - Aries

Let me make it clear to you
You know me, you do
Pretending for just another second
too long and I wreck it
I dream you come to me in love
I send you away inside 
I smile as if I want it too
But I won't ever pretend it's about you
The dream I have, I have for me 
an extremely unholy glee

Let me hold your hand, ease your shirt over your head
and seven hours later I'll pretend that you're dead
Let me hold you in my arms, and dream it'll last
and I sit by the phone waiting, you forgot me that fast?
Hatred clouds my vision, rationality is mourned
I try my best to be your dream and I'm just scorned

Pretend I care just long enough to say
that you were my type, but you don't like me this way
Focusing on ups and not on downs
the scars on my arms bleed as I lay on the ground
I snap out of those thoughts, I watched myself die
but luckily for me it was all just a lie
but I asked myself: If this is not real
Why do I have all these scars and weals?

Don't despise me, I begged, don't hate me, don't like me
everyone else who tried to strike me
I outlived the enemy but there were more behind him
And I never had a chance against all of them

I dreamed the other day that life was worth the fight
And I dreamed that I'd find the one who'd love me tonight
But as usual, that dream-well, it never came true
It took my happiness and turned me blue
Well, I sit in my room with the pills in my hand
look out the window and gulp them, they taste like sand
The effexor works, and I marvel as I lie down
And take up a dream that drives me to another town.

Reason for writing:

    Just dreaming, as usual.
