Nights Alone
I’m overjoyed and carefree and relieved
You came into my life at just the right time and I knew I could trust you
We first kissed at night with alcohol on our lips and your hands on my hips
We became one on a night when all we wanted was each other
I opened up and you came running in with your arms wide open
I’d see you and I could my feel my heart lifting, temporarily free from all the weight
You held my waist and kissed my head and told me that it was all going to be okay
But it wasn’t
Now, my mind is racing and my mouth feels dry and everything else is just numb
I became too much for you even though you said I wasn’t
You left even though you said you wouldn’t
You gave up on me even though I need you
You’re in my dreams at night and I wake up feeling reminiscent
I can’t stand having anyone else touch me because all I crave is your hands on me once more
You never leave my mind and at night I need you more than ever
I need your voice to calm me down
Your texts to keep me breathing
Your assurances to keep the knives away
I need you baby
I just want you to come back
Please come back
