You've invaded my dreams.
You've built a home in my subconscious.
How I wish this were a romantic gesture,
As if to say
"I cannot even dream a world without you"
On the contrary, these are no visions of lust or adoration
but of spite
and dismay.
You've become my nightmare.
The mental image of you strikes fear into my bones,
wakes me up from my sleep
in a puddle of sweat
and because it is a dream
no matter how fast I run,
how hard I hit,
how loud I yell,
you're inescapable.
So I beg of you
Please, please
Leave the haunting to the ghosts.

B
as in baby
as in babe
as in I adore you
as in be mine forever
as in maybe just till tomorrow
as in not anymore
as in strangers
as in strange
as in

I want to find out what you love
I want to see your face light up
when your favorite song comes on
I want to watch the music carry you away
I want to catch your eye
while you're dancing halfway across the room
shouting lyrics that I've never heard before
but will hear again and again
when I replay this moment in my head

I want to be who you love
I want to see your face light up
when our favorite song comes on
I want to carry you away
I want to look into your eyes
while we're dancing across the room
cooing lyrics I've heard a thousand times
and will hear a thousand more
when we wake up tomorrow and play it again

Wake up!
Open your eyes
draw back the curtains

In the darkness
no one can hear you dream.
