You detach me from myself
Like a two hours nap
And I cannot tame
The demons inside of me
Carving your name
In the walls of my skin

The tears on my pillow
Are the only wet dreams
That I have
Because everything
We ever were
Now tattoos my cheeks
With sorrow

I cannot comprehend
How you like to squeeze my heart
Like a little stress ball
And I would go back
To hand it to you
All over again
Every single time
Your lips whisper
“Stay”

How are we stuck?
In this endless cycle
Of me, loving you
And you, using this love
To read the lines in my palm
And to keep me crazy enough
To love you
And sane enough
To cry because I do
