Letting Go

Skin crawling away
With breathless nightmares.
Burning scents still linger
Enticing memories to sing
That Sweet sirens song.
Drowning is nothing new.

My scarred skin is flawless
In the light of your burning eyes.
You watch too much.
Notice every thing I hide.
I find myself wondering
Why do you try so hard.

You’ve given me this
Painless, nonexistent love.
Something to depend on
That means nothing at all.
It’ll all just dreams inside my head
And none of it really matters.

I don’t long for you. Yet,
In someways I still have you.
I don’t hold on
I know you aren’t mine.
You’re just my dreams,
And I’m all too accustomed…
