I saw you in my sleep tonight, again. It isn't enough for you to be in my mind all the time, it doesn't matter that I see you every time I close my eyes. You won't settle with being in the darkest corners of my mind.
I used to go to sleep so I wouldn't have to think. Now I wake up sweating, because of nightmares where I sink. I sink in the ocean of my tears, and drown because you're not with me.
When sadness was the sea you taught me how to swim.
