still dreaming

i’ll be dreaming from afar
when he’s standing right next to me.
completely unaware.

i’ll be dreaming of the day he finally knows,
when he tells me he got a girlfriend.
beaming with pride.

and after i leave
and i’m alone
i’ll still be dreaming.

and i’m dreaming while i hold the knife
close to my soft flesh

i’m still dreaming as i press it in.
crying on the inside.
bleeding on the outside.

the red blood flows sweetly.
slowly.

and i keep dreaming while i’m fading,
slipping away from the world

i’m dreaming he’ll rush in to save me,
as i’m falling

but he doesn’t come
and now im laying on the ground
dreaming
wishing
dying
and there’s nothing there to stop the pain
so i just lay there
bleeding
and crying
but i keep dreaming
