Asphyxiate

For so long now, I’ve been fixated
	on a dream.
A dream that I could find happiness
	mirrored in someone else’s eyes,
But that dream has done nothing but haunt
	my soul.
Fixated like a junkie craving for his 
subconscious reality.

It steals from me what I’ll give freely,
	not knowing that truth’s glass stares at me at all times.
Slowly it takes away pieces of my shattered
	soul.
If only I could let go life would be
	much simpler, but would it be worth living?
