You poisoned all the things I hold sacred
My love was something pure but is no more
You could be the dream, I could be the sleep
But we are no more
I compromised myself and then some
Gave up my mental health and so much more
I could be the ghost, or a poorly told joke
But I am no more
This heart of mine
Like a shattered spine
Hurts every step of the way
Be kind all the time
I don't mind, I try
But where has it gotten me?
Another sleepless dream
I might deny the only time I left you
No attempt to vent or even the score
I have always asked for nothing more
That's what I'm making up for
You have fallen from the tree so leave-less
Now you want no, nothing more
You and I should be risking more
Just like we did before
