Can’t breathe
Stifled cramped enclosed in my own small-mindedness
A prison built for one
Cowering in the corner
Wary of approaching visitors
No one touches me
I built this prison with my own hands
I laid the foundations stone by stone
I toiled away long and hard all alone
Everyone else is gone
Once more, solitude
Resting from the weariness that deadens me
Silent slumber an impossible reality
No haunts and nightmares plague my mind
Instead, pleasant dreams of things I wish could be
But my heart aches when I wake up and realize
Nothing’s true anymore
Try loving and losing and you’ll know for yourself
It’s better to stay cold
Hard and unbreakable
Unbeatable
Untouchable
Disappointment shadows my footsteps
I wander the lonely skies
But these are the days when no one cries
No one admits that they once had hopes, once had dreams
Of finding true love
Being happy ever after
But then they woke up.
