Nightmare

The greatest fear that I ever faced was awakening
And finding that you had already left
The only person that remained in my world was self
I had to look over the edge to see that I was nearing death
My only salvation was in placing you back upon a shelf

I was forced to walk the earth a tortured soul
Living a life that I couldn't control
I now realize that you were the axis
To both my north and south pole
What can I do to reclaim my hold

Life isn't as simple as the storybooks told
We're not all robots built in a mold
Our love was complicated demanding time
I should've remember how hard it was for me to find
Instead I drew a line and played with your mind

You endured the torture as long as you could
Thinking today was bad, but tomorrow will be good
I didn't hear your pleading, or saw the things that I should
Your heart was bleeding, you were totally misunderstood

But in my REM there was things behind my eyes
I'm seeing a side of me that I now despise
I see that you've left and has been tooken
My core, my axis, has now been tooken

Without your love was guidance, and depth
I see myself no longer caring for myself
He looks good, his smile lights up the world
He's claiming my Boo is now his world

The pain inside is something I just can't take
The ground is crumbling as my whole world shakes
I hear the word Baby gently in my ear
I feel familiarity, when you pull me near

I open my eyes realizing it was a dream
You are still here with me and we're still a team
You pull me close and allow me to confide
And then later on allowed me to slip inside
