you don't dream
i wished them sweet
at the very least
get yourself some sleep
you know that you need it
and the timing is convenient
it's okay to show some weakness
when no one's awake to see it
so close your tired eyes
and succumb to the night
in the lonely bed you lie
one day things will be alright
at least when i cried everyday
i was sure of how i felt
i'm somewhere between drained and unsure
but can't really tell
if it's the environment around me
or if i constructed my own hell
wanna keep things sweet
when you turned them sour
promise to play fair
then abuse your power
it was all fun and games
till your feelings got hurt
that's when all of sudden
this dynamic couldn't work
you held me with no hands
at peace in your gaze
we couldn't be close
but i knew i was safe
dont even allow a syllable
to pass your lips
your words are now
so meaningless
whatever you think
you need to say
i promise the oxygen
is better off saved
heard it all before
couldn't've missed it
i'll stop you right there
unfinished sentence
and i don't feel bad
for cutting you short
but id've done something worse
if i'd heard anymore
i let you do it
which i guess was stupid
thought the perks were worth the pain

on one hand it was my call
and you wanna pass the fault
because accepting blame serves no gain

figured it all understandably
easier to abandon me
than acknowledge your own shortcomings

you lead me on a chase
unexpectedly hit the brakes
the death of a never was something
crave intimacy
to my own dismay
to an unhealthy extent
what can i say
not unexpected
just short of a mistake
out of my control
my heart just feels a way
just want someone to know
and lips to trace
a name to remember
when i draw a blank
a hand to hold
when i don't feel safe
when i'm all torn out
a forgiving face
maybe that's a lot
but that's all i pray
i can only hope
it comes true one day
if this situation
should ever change
the idea of love
driving me insane
