Middle of the night, I hear myself scream

I pray it was all a fever dream

She’s standing in the corner, eyes staring at me

Her face hidden in the shadows for me to never see

Her glare burns through the pitch black of the room  

Everything around me is engulfed in heavy fume

Shadows dancing on the wall

Is it her or just the city’s lights?

Toying with me in the dead of night

I’m startled even by a phone call

‘You are what you did’

She said from the dark in which she hid

Her voice pierces new holes in my heart

The first rays of sun creeping in through the blinds

Pull me far away from her into their warm embrace

And finally there's nothing left of her but a blank space

Like a butterfly sporadically flapping its wings

My heart beats without any strings

I can’t control it but it controls me and everything counterfeit

Like a ship signaling for help to get to the docks

A faint signal, three dots, three dashes, three dots

My heart speaks a language I used to know

In the middle of the night cutting through the silence

Not it’s not the sound of art

It’s my aching heart

How can I piece it back together

When it was shattered to begin with?

And all because I liked you

In the middle of the day, pulling me out of it

The walls echo the words you used to say back to me

I try to evade my love for you

I only get outrun by your desertion of me  

And all because I liked you
