Sleeping

I feel like I'm sleeping.

Never awake to handle the shock

Just riding with the flow,

Seems to never slow

 

Its like there's a substance

I have yet to encounter

If I go on without it

I might not survive.

 

Even the feeling of missing

something so important to human life,

makes me feel So full

, why? ...I don't know

 

I cant live with you

But without you

I will die violently

If you don't stay

 

Its the addiction

I know not of

The heroine to

my system of needing

 

Annihilate my insides

Twist my thoughts

Killing me slowly

You never hint a clue.

 

My heartbeat slows

my head starts to spin

I lose my speach

and cant find my legs

 

You make me dependant

Honing down on my thoughts

Consciousness is gone

Now Its up to you

 

You have the choice

pull the plug

or keep me alive

Just heads or tails to you

 

You act like you need me

you even say you do

But love? I feel none

Just the want of it.

 

You pull Me in close

only for one thing

casting me aside

Once you get what you want

 

Just like the rest

It feels like you are

They say you are but

You insist not

 

I try to decipher

who to believe

But I can't

You stole the ability

 

Do this and do that

Notes of discomfort

**** me slowly

Because of your problems

 

At times I am scared

Of what you may do

I walk on glass egg shells

Trying to please you

 

One day it may click

that I will want more

But until I get there

Your keeping score.

 

We fight and we scream

worry about all

there is no love

Only a lack there of

 

It ***** all alone

with no one beside

You keep to yourself

leaving me blind

 

So bring the consciousness

Don't just leave me

wake me up

before I die

 

I want us to live

I want a family

So keep me to love

Not to neglect.
