lavender

while you're sleeping, i drown.

you lie with your eyes closed,

drifting through your happy dreams of everyone who isn't

me...

smiling at all the others.

you erased me a long time ago.

i wish i could have you feel what i feel for you,

and the way it feels to

burn

like i do,

and the way it feels to be

erased.

the more i figure out,

the more i understand,

the less sense it all makes.

no rest, there you'll still be.

none of my waking hours pass without you.

every night i wait under the streetlights

for someone to remember my name.
