My dear, you clearly haven’t seen
the terrors that make up my dreams
I promised me I’d never try again,
We know exactly what takes place
When so called friends get their say
If everything is doomed, then why begin,
The deed is done but scars remain
The love, the sex, the bars, the pain
It taught me things but surely took its toll,
And over time, I’ve seen the change
In reflections of my face
I’m here in mind and body but not soul,
So what’s the point of starting new
When getting out is hard to do
We either last forever or we don’t,
And in the case of the latter
Nothing but our feelings matter
We could avoid the wreckage but we won’t,
So I’ll go back out on the chance
That I was wrong and this could last
And everything was pure, and good, and true,
I hope to see the best of me
And every night when I’m to sleep that
Nightmares be replaced with dreams of you.
