Living a nightmare
Sometimes I feel the world isn't real as I start to fade,
People are nothing but a distant shade,
One crossed between my eyes,
Frightening - full in disguise.
I wonder whether my life is a trap,
I just want to get out.
Whenever I breathe I know it's true,
You are the life I'm looking forward to.
But sometimes you aren't there,
And I'm left alone in despair.
I don't want to live this nightmare,
I want to be with you, now and forever.
