1-25-10 My Boyfriend

I call a dead boy my boyfriend,
even though, we've never truly been together,
everyone use to say he was mine,
because my love has always been his,

I walk around feeling dead,
and yet im the one who can breath,
my boyfriend, he cant even see,
because he has the eternal sleep,

I call a dead boy my boyfriend,
at night i cry myself to sleep,
i close my eyes and i see him,
i hear him and feel him on me,

I walk around in the day, 
dressed in black everything,
the sun tries to shine on me,
and instead the clouds just pour rain down,

I call a dead boy my boyfriend,
i think theres something wrong with me,
this pain wont go away,
and i can barely see,

I sleep at night after tears,
and hear him whispering in my ear,
i wonder if this is real,
or am i just going insane?

I call a dead boy my boyfriend,
i cant use the past tence,
i hurt so bad everyday,
my heart is in so much pain,

I try to hide it all,
i try not to let everybody see,
how much im drowning,
and what this does to me,

I call a dead boy my boyfriend,
am i going insane?
I call a dead boy my boyfriend,
im not too sure how long i can take this pain...
