I fell in love with you
The same way I fall asleep

Slowly
         Peacefully

The whole time I felt as secure
As I do nestled under the blankets on my bed

Little did I know
There was a nightmare patiently waiting
To come out from its hiding spot behind your hazel eyes

It crept up on me
Ending my peaceful slumber

Our love became twisted
Your smile became cruel

I was unable to escape
Like a dreamer with sleep paralysis
My belief in your ability to change
Blinded me like a sleeping mask

Eventually I woke up
From the nightmare that was you

         And I’ve been an insomniac ever since
