So you show up in my dreams
Trying to figure out just how to
Rip me apart at the seams.
Dragging me down your path of needs
Seeking me out, luring me in,
To my ironic feeling of apathy
As thoughts would secede
My dreams vanished just in time
To wake and see you lying next to me.

Butting heads is where it started
Heaven waits for the dearly departed when we’re through.
I’m through with you,
And I can’t seem to see anything less than us
Arriving at a rivalry.

And see, so now you’re late
Just in time to ruin what was
Next up on my plate.
I’ve lost my appetite
You make me sick. I’m afraid
I’ll never end up right.
So thanks to you and what you are
I’m drowned out to the thought
That salvation is too far away…


(you cant do this anymore!)
(you’re the one that said you would change..)
(you made promises you couldn’t keep!)
(now to make commitments we're sure to rearrange.)
now its starting again…

So leave me just the way
You found me
I don’t need anymore of your
Sympathy.
Just bring me back,
Bring me back to where I was lonely.

interesting and powerful 'write'!

[I don't "do" 'Realism'....but, I am certainly glad
  others write this way!]

p.s.: great choice of 'P.I.P.' "UserName" (ID)!
