Awake and Asleep
You're always there. I can't escape you, even if I tried
Your face haunts my dreams
asleep and waking
I wake up in tears,
reaching and shaking
But you're not there
and you never were
You didn't choose me
It was always going to be her
You'd think the dreams nightmares
and in a way they are
They're visions of what should be
and they form new scars
Your voice echoes inside my head
telling me you'll never leave
Empty promises spoken with honeyed lips
what you said, I believed
More than anything
I wanted to be cherished and loved
My nightmares are what
dreams should be made of
So I wipe away the tears again
and calm my racing heart
Remind myself I never really had you
It was over before it could start
