at times, I woke up with scratches and wounds
and I'm left to wonder what happened the night before
not even remotely drunk to do anything stupid,
I think back to what people usually say
that only those who know peace could sleep at night.
I guess my demons present themselves
in my dreams once again
and the scars on my skin are evidences
of what transpired that night.
they are not exactly nightmares,
but I know they're something else.

In a room with people who sleeps peacefully
I find myself wide awake
And thinking of my mistakes.
I couldn't say that I regret them
But I wish I've known the outcome.
Their weight is too heavy
For my heart to carry
Day by day, it's weighing me down
And I feel myself being drowned.

You left in between words
And now I can't decipher them.
You left in between colors
And now my life is devoid of it.
You left in between songs
And now I can't listen to them.

You stayed when you didn't want to
You left when I didn't want you to.
You said that you won't change
What happened to your love, then?
You left me without a clue
How do you think I'll be able to get through?
You're hurting, so you hurt others in return.

You were my escape,
And now you've got me caged
In this never-ending pain and sadness.
You took the keys with you
And I'm still waiting for your come back
To finally free me.
