when someone loves you but only in the dark

please see the light and leave them.

i hear that if you look long enough,

somewhere on earth, you can find

heaven.

but i stopped believing in hope

when i was seven.

the pillow fairy left me nothing

in exchange for my tooth,

and nobody wanted to

tell me the truth.

so from then on out,

i collapsed inside my mind

and made a home out of my head.

i keep everything to myself,

including all the things that you said,

like how you want to hold me

but only when no one is

around,

and how you don’t mind fucking with me

as long as i don’t make a single

sound.
