Everything is fuzzy

Coming through in waves

Sleep escapes me once again

On this starry night

I close my eyes and there you are

Haunting me, taunting me

Wherever I go.

I thought you were perfect

In everything you are

In everything you do

Oh boy how I was fooled

No longer do you seem perfect

No longer do I smile

I use to sleep

With sweet dreams,

Awake to sunshine and thoughts of you

Now here I am

Laying awake in the dark

My life is now darkness

You are now a mystery to me

Nothing is set in stone

Like it used to be

I lay in bed each night

Memories flooding my mind

You come and go as you please

Always haunting me

No longer do the stars shine

No longer does the sun raise in the morning light

My vision goes blurry

No longer do I see straight

I feel weak

Sleep still escapes me

Close my eyes

And there you are

Gracing me with your presence

How I wish you were near

Instead of having you

Haunt me and taunt me

I just want to scream

Leave me alone!!!!

No longer can I deal with it

The pain has become too much

Everything I do

Is just now a blur

From every step I take

To every word I say

Every action I create

Everything is fuzzy

It now only comes in waves

Sleepless nights

And starless gaze

Lay down and close my eyes

And there you are once again

Haunting me, taunting me

Wherever I go

So tell me now

Do you want in?

Or do you want out-

Out of my life completely?

Because I ask if you leave

Then just leave

No longer can I handle

Having you linger here

Unless I can have you near.

No more sleep

No more dreams

No more sunshine

And no more stars

Everything is dark

You now haunt me and taunt me

Dreams are now nightmares

And the sun is eclipsed

Blackness is what I see

Pain is what I feel

You linger here

Haunting me

And taunting me

With who you are and what you are

I had enough

Now I just want to scream

Leave me alone!!!

Leave my life for good

Or stay and show me

That perfect boy

I once thought you were

In a distant time

In a distant place far from here

Everything is fuzzy

My vision is blurred

You are now a ghost

Lightly touching my skin

You’re touch in but a ghost upon my skin

Sleep escapes me once aga

On this starry, black night

I lay back, close my eyes

There you are once again

Haunting me, taunting me

Wherever I go.
