Once Upon a Dream

I know you

I walked with you once upon a dream

You broke me

And I kept stumbling over my steps ever since

I know you

I was always captured by your murdering charm

You poked my eyes

And I followed you blindly ever since

I was attached to you by strings

A net you weaved to keep me entrapped

Yet you always pushed me away

Until its steel cut through me

You pushed me in as you pushed me out

Again and again I’m lured into your den

I’m then broken and done

As you’re gone

A year passes

I walk with you once upon a dream

I know you

It’s only my head playing its themes

I pick up the phone,

Hello…

I know you

But still you don’t know me

All comes rushing back to the surface

My wreckage is again everywhere to be found

My blood is running rivers from my salted wounds

You murder me once more

I know you

I walked with you once upon a nightmare

And every time I recover

I only have my memories to remind me of your terrors
