You haunt my dreams Lurk in my thoughts Always present but never there Like a shadow of what Could've been And never was An impression so solid and real Pressing at my consciousness Keeping my heart on hold Holding my feelings hostage You've made it impossible Unreasonable to expect another Nothing can replace Match up Measure up Tightly you hold onto me Desperate to let go Unable to allow you to slip Crave your clutch on me Desire that which pains Agony from the dark Shadows shouldn't inflict Scar me Mar the flesh You haunt my dreams Grip my heart Encompass my soul You make me uninhabitable
...etching my old fears; into new awareness...|10:50 p.m.|
