Dead Daydreams

My bitter heart, all it wanted,

It was \drowning\, it was sinking,

How could you be the light?

The only remnant of brightness.

You,

my everything.

Trying desperately to /hold/ /on/.

My failing legs b/r/o/k/e beneath me,

I just need you to know-

but that truth might ruin you.

How do I look in your eyes

when all I want is you?

To remain sober of your smile,

Is my slow kil/ler.

Everyday becomes

older,

And the daydreams

Shorter,

To wake to your vibrancy,

Is a distant day of non-existence.
