in my dreams im lost in a sea
of happiness and joy
numb to the feelings of the outside
world
im lost in dreams that dont make
sense because they dont have to
escaping the painful world
outside
my own created world, my refuge,
my safe place
here i can not be hurt
images look as though they're
alive vividly in my mind
dancing around an imaginary fire
but since you left all i have is nightmares
my tears fill oceans and i drown
for an eternity
blood seeps from every inch of
my lifeless body
my heart is broken and the shards
pierce my skin
my refuge now torn, broken, tainted
your voice haunts me still in
my dreams
as you break my heart over and over
again everytime i close my eyes
