My Reality

All lyrics written by Stephanie Gummelt.

I have nothing

But warmth for your new adventures 

I have nothing.

But I am silenced

by the care I have for you and my fear that you have something

something to say to me 

like:

"I'm sorry, but you are more you than I thought you'd be. Forgive me

I spoke too soon before you got to know me. I'm sorry, 

but you are not in my dreams, and I do not want you in my reality"

As I am gripping 

my pillow tight at night

and staring 

at the fireworks fleeting light

out my window

it breaks my heart 

it burns my throat

and there's no comfort 

no "hello, you're doing fine! You're so lovely"

You're so...

And there's no comfort 

but like a mantra like a lullaby I hear, oh and it haunts me:

"I'm sorry, but you are more you than I thought you'd be. Forgive me

I spoke too soon before you got to know me. I'm sorry, 

but you are not in my dreams, and I do not want you in my reality"

This is my reality.

Now you're leaving
