Perfect Love.

Drowning in your own thoughts You don’t give me room to breathe I guess I love you I’m just not sure. My loneliness is killing me I’m scared to die alone You filter through my thoughts My dreams, my hopes. I don’t feel I know you anymore. Your dependency is murder My heartache is torture Your rules bind me like chains to a wall I feel like you’ve imprisoned me In the darkness where I can’t cry. I can’t break free. Slowly I fall apart. Bits of my identity fall away I scream louder into the silence Can you hear my desperate pleas? Of course you can’t You’re not trying. In my own thoughts You let me drown In a way I’m happy To drown in self inflicted pain. You never understood me And now you’re just too late.
