Once I believed you were.
    Your memory still haunts me. You are my biggest dream yet and still you're the one who unsettles me the most. I suppose these are forever stuck together.

    I had nothing and still I gave it all to the idolized figure I had of you. You were something else, you couldn't belong to this so mundane world. I gave it all to you and you took it without blinking. You took it and you broke it and now no one else wants it. No one wants to play with a ruined toy.

    I swore you to silence and I swore me to the same. I didn't wish to give you the importance of words. The truth is - you are the words. You scarred me and I am learning to live wounded. I am learning to heal.

    Your name taught me what illusions were about, what the make believe game really was - you became my Neverland. And you sank.   

    Your bitter-sweet kiss has always denounced you, so I have always known. But the feeling I experienced was so greater than me, that I closed my eyes and pretended I did not see. I tasted the truth on my tongue and swallowed it so it would disappear, but it still runs in my blood and that was how you forever got stuck under my skin. Forever in me. My skin still tastes like you - my flavour is you.

    You finished the job of ripping off my soul, now I'm trying to glue it back with silly tears and sillier fears that I share with Silence and Night. You come and go. You cannot just come and go. You ripped my patience too. Now, I limp, but I'll be still able to run from you.
