Will Someone Wake Me When We Get There?

Night falls, shut the door
Keep out this nightmare
Let peace and hope
Fall over you

I'm stuck in a fantasy
A self-made prison,
Built by fear and solitude
Laced in lies
Here I'm never alone

A storm approaches
Hurry! Close the door
Hide your heart
Forget the rain

I'm stuck in a fantasy
A self-made prison,
Built by fear and solitude
Laced in lies
Here I'm never alone

The nightmare arrives
This monster they call
Reality
I am alone

I'm stuck in a fantasy
A self-made prison,
Built by fear and solitude
Laced in lies
Here I'm never alone

But I'm stuck in a fantasy
My escape, my defeat
A victim to reality
Wrecking vengeance because...

I'm stuck in a fantasy
A self-made prison,
Built by fear and solitude
Laced in lies
Here I'm never alone

But it's just a fantasy...

A Lesson in Forgiveness

I love you all. Thank you for those who constantly (or inconsistently) read and comment on these things I write. As an aspiring writer, I really appreciate the encouragement. =D

P.S. Yes, the title is purposefully ironic...

(Get out!)

Every time I open my eyes,
There you stand
Why must you haunt me?
Leave me alone!

Every time I close my eyes,
You're still there
Why can't you just leave?
I'm letting go!

Don't you see,
I'm fighting to be free
I have nothing left
After your violent theft
If only you could see
The torment you're causing me
Goodbye is the key

The truth is self-evident
The shadows
I carry would send
You to your knees

The lies are in the open
Better alone
I'm done playing games
I've let you go

Don't you see,
I'm fighting to be free
I have nothing left
After your violent theft
If only you could see
The torment you're causing me
Goodbye is the key

Now I'll pick up the pieces
(Get up!)
Silence your excuses
(Get out!)
I'm leaving behind this disaster
That is your life

Goodbye is the key.
