You and I and Death

I'll be your every waking nightmare every painstaking dream if you let me and if i say please I'll steal the breath right out of you then I'll have to leave breaking every promise because you see my heart has long forgotten me You'll hear my voice on high then on low whispering through dark hollows just for you to behold I dip my fingers into you pale white to the bone cold and seeking you softly sigh and as a tear hits your pillow you ask me why? and I say I don't know It's you I have chosen you silly soft boy you let me in and now I'll never leave, you thought I was simply the girl of your dreams You didn't see the rain in my eyes the ice in my veins couldn't feel the pain and now I need you and your begging me to leave you My lies no longer amuse you but when I tell the truth you cover your ears and I smile I am the shadow by your heart your every thought you think of in your head the very thing that binds you together and the only thing that tears you apart I'll be here forever you and I and death who sits in the corner So go back to bed you'll see me in the morning my dear.
