Poisoned Brainwaves

When I have a nightmare

You hold me close

You sleep with your head on my pillow

Your tender breath on my face

You drowsily take my hand

And whisper, 

"Fuck that dream, just fuck it!"

But I can't shake it off 'cause you were in it

It hits me every time I look at you

And I cry

And you kiss me 

And I hold you

And then I sit up and realize

I'll just have to feel the pain of this nightmare for a while

Before it goes away.

Delta waves sowing discord between us

When there isn't any

Jealous dreams, recurring

Fearing the unpredictable

Trying to make peace with the idea

That one day you might leave me

And it makes me cry

As if you already did.

But it's just poisoned brainwaves.
