The Girl of My Dreams

She wasn’t what I envisioned for myself at all A constant reminder of my failure She always looks right into my eyes and tells me that I wasn’t enough The Doctors gave me a pill to make her go away But she still visits me while I sleep I can hear her tip-toe around my bed Her skin is white as snow and her hair looks like a spiders web Her hands freeze me as she claws at my side I cant breath She’s pulling me into her watery grave where I left her I’m drowning I’m so sorry! Come here let me fix your hair Come here let me wipe your tears I’m so sorry I should have never been a paramedic The truth is I can’t save anyone from drowning Not even myself You can live here now Safe inside my head Come lay beside me You can sleep in my bed
