Learning The Truth

At one point,

I was convinced that you wanted nothing but the best

for me.

I was convinced that you were different from the rest

of them.

It seemed that way,

It really did.

I honestly believed that you could be different;

that you'd protect me from the demons

of the past.

Honestly,

I believed it.

I really did.

At one point,

I was convinced that I couldn't live without you.

I was convinced that I needed you

more than I needed water;

more than I needed oxygen;

more than I needed human love.

You were,

at one point,

my saving grace.

At one point,

I was convinced that you wanted nothing but the best

for me;

that you were different from all the rest.

At one point,

it seemed that way;

really,

it did.

At one point,

you were my everything.

But now,

now,

you are nothing but my worst possible nightmare;

only coming to me in my worst dreams.

At one point,

you really were my saving grace.

But now,

you're nothing but my own personal hell;

my own personal Freddy Kruger;

one dream of you and I'm better off dead.
