Night falls on the heavy sleepers
Slapping them with dreams and sometimes nightmares
Crying night tears
Body shocked stuck in a maze with no lighters
Darkness roams empty souls
Growing tired of vision as things look blurry
Gasping for air they awake
to find their bodies numb to move
Feeling like their bodies are being chocked
Mind being provoked, emotions evoked
Sleep is good, sleep is deadly, sleep is heavenly, sleep can leave you feeling empty
Heavy sleepers are victims of sleeps terror

He said you will never catch me in my emotions

And then she came around,
now his stuck in his emotions
Deep like the ocean
She explores him

She comforts his insecurity
Protects and loves him with dignity
Shows Love and loyalty
She is his weakness
As he is her strength
They hold each other
as they dream of forever
True genuine lovers
Hidden emotions find comfort under covers
Whispering secrets kept between them
Love so strong and powerful it blinded them

Thank you for my insecurity
Because of you
I will always add a brick to my wall of emotions
Slowly build a wall for security
Because you took the best of me
Destroyed me and pretended to love me
While emotionally manipulating me to fall for your weak minded loveless excuse of existence, pulling me back in with resistance
While my mind told me I would regret this
But with every kiss I found you blameless

Your love was irrelevant
But you still found it evident to destroy my beating heart
You painted over my aching soul
Covered me with your flaws
While you force fed me your insecurities
Now I doubt I could ever love again
Because to feel this pain again
Could be the beginning of the end again

I wonder if you are the cheractors you write about

Because every time you read me your poetry
You forget you are talking to me
I see you try to hide in your words
Scared of the scars on your heart
So you dress your emotions in empty oceans
Painting beautiful art in a desert full of feelings
Sand storms cover your hope
so you turn to faith
But end up preaching to atheists and narcissists
Who only believe in nothing but themselves

Stolen souls taken by 12 thieves
Empty bottles used to heal bandaged scars

I never thought I would see the day in which I drown in love

I beg of you please don't save me

Let me drown in love
For to drown in your love is to love in your deep ocean to surrender all deep emotions

Without flaws
perfection would mean nothing
That's why I admire your ability to show me your flaws and insecurity
Letting me in and allowing me to build our loyalty

I am not afraid of what I can be
I am afraid of what you could be without me

I held you back, because I felt you needed me
But in reality you were always free to be who you wanted to be
What scared me the most was knowing that You would be ok without me
