Why can’t I have you?
      We’ve never been close
Well, some nights we get deep
       I guess I just feel you deserved it
So why not every night?
      You have friends you like to tease?
Yes
       Is it fun to you?
Sometimes
       So you enjoy jokingly suffering them?
Not when you put it that way
       Attacking their insecurities?
       Calling out their faults?
       Highlighting their flaws?
       Igniting the flames already blazing in their bodies?
       Covering up your own?
       Through laughter of another’s?
       That’s why I hide from you
       I fear you
       You’re a bully
       A punisher
       A smile’s worst enemy
       So why not every night?
       Until you use me to dream
       To seek positive change in yourself
       I will be your restless nightmare
      And I don’t need me
      As much as you do
      So I will
       I will
      Watch you suffer
