Mental


I lay in bed and shake,

my body trembles uncontrollably,

I feel my bones break.

   Her words hit me like a ton of heavy clouds, then all at once, the rain seemed to pour down.

I tried to get away, but she was in my thoughts to stay.

   Stuck now in this lifeless time, all I wished for was a sense of real love, a completely safe mind.

Don't get me wrong, I am in love with her,

but she...

she loves the idea of me,

                                 and how she tries to perceive me.
