I've had trouble sleeping lately because I think about you and what I imagine in dreams got me insanely confused. Memories of the past but mostly moments, images of what we have and pieces of what I want. Fantasies, desires that I can't achieve in real life because your heart is cut in half and I won't let you break mine. Every night, I toss and turn like a lion in a cage, like your face is a curse and a gift all at once, a burning candle I can't touch if I want to stay alive. And when my imagination gets rid of all the wax, when I'm too tired to have you back in mind, when the hours fly away from dusk till sunrise, I finally break free from your ghost but the shadows still secretly remaining show me once again that I'm already lost.
