I dream about
turning fantasy
into reality

I want to run away
from my future,
and erase all my past.

I want to erase
this heartbreak
from happening that
had me hoping for
something that I
couldn't possess.

So now I'm forever filled
with pain, my body
goes numb, my eyes
are in tears.

I'm just letting this panic
of parting sink in,
But it's hard. It's hard to
accept that you were
in love even, because
you so quickly chose to
leave instead to stay.

My dreams that were once
filled with joy are now
filled with nightmares.

The time we shared
feels so distant
and faraway.

Perhaps it was our
youthful passion, that
had this love destroying
and burning us.

I loved the feeling of
being consumed
because it was you,
but you consumed
me too much.
