Last night I went to sleep with an anvil on my chest
Crushing my rib cage
Until the only sound in the room
Was my heart screaming your name.

Last night I went to sleep with a jackhammer in my brain
Torturing my eyes
With images of us
I know can never happen.

Last night I went to sleep with water in my lungs
Choking everything I had
Out of me
I was drowning in my own tears

This morning I woke up crying
After my dreams were haunted by your face
Having to sneak looks and smiles when her head is down
I don't want to hurt anymore.
