I sleep,
almost every night.
Most nights I'm too scared to shut my eyes.
You're in every one of my dreams---well,
nightmares.
I just can't seem to shake the thought of you.
of you and I.
But something always happens, the dreams end the same way.

I wake up afraid that you might actually be here.

Do I miss the days he is away
Would I come to him when he's astray
Caught when I stare
Do my cheeks start to flare
The touch of a finger
Yet never linger
Send chills down my spine

Don't  you toy with my fragile heart
With a simple word, it could fall apart
You never have a clue
On what to do
Yet, I still love you anyway

There is a boy outside
Is he holding a knife
No. There is a boy outside
Or is he scared for his life
No. There is a boy outside
Does he smirk with delight
No. There is a boy outside
Or does he just want to fight
No child. There is a boy outside
Is he here to ****
No. The boy holds a flower
For whom's heart to fill
There is a boy outside
