Perfect Love.

Drowning in your own thoughts
You don’t give me room to breathe
I guess I love you 
I’m just not sure.

My loneliness is killing me
I’m scared to die alone
You filter through my thoughts 
My dreams, my hopes.
I don’t feel I know you anymore.

Your dependency is murder
My heartache is torture 
Your rules bind me like chains to a wall
I feel like you’ve imprisoned me
In the darkness where I can’t cry. 
I can’t break free. 
Slowly I fall apart. 

Bits of my identity fall away
I scream louder into the silence 
Can you hear my desperate pleas? 
Of course you can’t 
You’re not trying. 

In my own thoughts
You let me drown
In a way I’m happy
To drown in self inflicted pain. 
You never understood me
And now you’re just too late.
