The Nightmare You Wish Was a Dream

Love is a lie its a harmful facade a mirror reflecting what you want until it cracks under pressure and reveals the harsh unwanted truth its a faded image a lost balloon stuck in a tree a lonely girl crying in the staircase the ripped love letters the deleted text messages the sad songs and the dripping mascara its the screams its the tears its the regrets its the lies and deceit its the lost hopes and broken dreams its the nightmare you wish was a dream its the star you look for and the pit you fall into its the light at the end of the tunnel and the shadows that creep along the floor its that ache you feel in the pit of your stomach its the confusion you fear its the beat you love to dance to its the monster you run from its the butterfly that flies free its the fire that burns its the air you breathe its the water that cleanses you its the ocean that drowns you its the feeling that explodes within you
