Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania "I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit".
In a dream, a perfect illusion living the life you've always wanted In reality, there's so much confusion, Leading you farther from where you had started Time is taking its tolls and you're still stuck in the beginning Ceasing to move, ceasing to live You still hold on, hoping they'll give Everything you once wanted, but it's leading you farther from where you had started. As time moves on more and more You start to wish love hadn't left you sore Sore for life, and sore for love You try to forgive, but it's so hard You want to move on, but your heart's in shards While they lie on the floor, you sit there crying more and more Yet, you still hold on, and think "just one last chance" hoping and praying that this time, it won't give. No, Hope that it won't bow, it won't fray, If only it lasts just one more day Just to hold him one more night, Just so you can get that ultimate high Though, he seems to be leading you farther away from everything that was there to stay; From everything that you wanted Leading you farther from where you had started

Farther Away
I have come to find myself having lucid dreams I imagine myself as Dr. Cuddi You are Gregory House. I am the fixer, the healer, the lover. You are the destroyer, the addict, the roamer. I am reclusive, motherly, and protective. You are the narcissistic, arrogant ******* Somehow, in some way, we make this work, Even when is takes the millionth time to hold you and clean you up. Your self inflicted wounds, your suppressed emotional distress that is linked to your addictions.. You make life a puzzle and we both like puzzles.. I can make love to your eyes, hold your crippling being, undress your mind, and make you mine.. I don't even have to try. You can try to refute.. You can try to run, but in the end, we both know that all along This is what we were meant to be. We were made for each other. You're the only one that I want to run back to regardless of the senial things you do. I'm the only one you keep in your dreams regardless of the number of *** partners you undressed by seams.. And at the end of the day.. I will always be there to say, "It's okay. I love you."

House, M.D.
I may not have taken my time when I moved on But I wasn't wrong when I had been the only one who held on How many years I could recollect, but it isn't worth it Nor is that healthy Now I know what I know and what I don't know by my own choice. Ignorance is bliss when it comes to moving on. Indifference is what you aim to feel after all is said and done Sure, some people try to tell me about how you are But I instead walk away and speak no words It isn't worth knowing We aren't friends We aren't lovers We aren't meant to be We are simply a thing of the past We had our time and that time left me sore And I will not fight myself anymore. The love I had was always mind over matter I didn't view it that way back then, Yes, I do admit. You were the center of my fascination. You were the Apple of my eye. But I can't believe I led myself to believe all of your lies. I guess I was love drunk on my first actual love. I never let anyone in, so the first person I did, I never wanted to let go. It was too risqué to me.. My psyche was telling me you would betray me.. And it was right. That's why ignorance is bliss. I don't open up And I don't chase I don't care about what people say I don't look at pictures I don't recollect I just simply turn my back and I remind myself "Ignorance is Bliss".

Ignorance Is Bliss
I've been having those old dreams The ones years ago that reaped me of my sanity They're the same ones when you'd wake me to hold me You'd be there when I was shaking Tossing and turning When I lacked breathing.. But now, when I dream, it is different But not because you're not there. It is a cold, dark silhouette And I swear, it haunts me. It cascades my bedroom walls and attacks me at my throat Bad omens always stayed away from me, They were always following you. So, what changed? **** Who knows. Now, I shake and quiver I sweat and I cry In the middle of my sleep I scream I scream, I scream, I SCREAM! But, no one hears me. No one holds me. So I stay shaking Tossing and turning I still lack breathing. But one last thing I have left out, That Bible I keep by my head, you know, Pages were ripped out. That silhouette that cascades my bedroom in the middle of the night, That omen.. **** it's your demon. You brought me bad luck. I can't believe I let your demons in. ****

Your Demons
I was addicted to you and you made it easy to be addicted to Adderall. Adderall made me paranoid to the point to think that I wasn't enough. So I believed I was more "attractive" when I lost all that weight, Well, you ate my scripts like candy- like they were going out of style, And then you decided I wasn't what you wanted when the fun was no longer worth while. Because of Adderall, you wanted more. You seeked other women, And then I was broken. As I was crashing, Inside I was burning.   I had no energy anymore. You were full of energy and I was a bore.. I guess what I mean to say is Adderall made you a *****
