DREAMING A LIE

Don't take this lie away from me
It's all I have to afford believe
Even when our eyes fail to meet
Can I still see you in my dreams?

I heard you've forgot about me
And to another your lost appeals
Let alone me I wouldn't feel this
I am not new to the pain your absence brings

The weight of the curse be
That without you in my head, I may not live
But, if I do, it's because, to you, I am dead already
And from the grave in your heart, I write you this plea

Something about you feels like alcohol
A little touch, I stumble, a drunk I've become
Right from the start, you were never mine
You were just a simple lie, i always kept in mind

My actions were loud enough
So also were the voices in your head
But nay it was never a part of your faults
I would blame the devil in your bed

Your heart was cold
If ever you had one
I still remember sitting by that stove
With you in my arms, looking to find warmth

But, this time I woke up ashamed
Finding it was just a dream again
The only place we get to meet
Void of the powers that be.
