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
