When I shut my eyes to sleep,
you appear like a tear
at the corners of my eyes.
I try to wrestle away your thoughts
by shoving aside our memories,
struggling in vain to distract myself
but I give up
and they stay.
Get out of my mind
come in front
because I’d rather that you
bother me where I can see you.
If I fall asleep, it’s you that I dream of.
If I don’t, then there’s no escape
from the haunting reality;
the shadow that is you.
Like a ghost you follow me
everywhere I go
and no amount of light
can scare you away.
Get out of my mind
come in front
because I’d rather that you
bother me where I can see you.
Like a parasite you cling onto me
or a perfume that doesn’t wear off.
You are Everywhere
and you are Everytime.
