I had never woke until I met you
I thought life was unworthy of death
To find and then inexplicably lose
Stole away every last breath
And I chose instead to dream
Losing my tears to the pillow
Losing my life's story in sleep
I'd kept every secret
I'd lost every fantasy
You fled my presence
I have since had only regret
And pretense
You moved me more
Than a flood upon a flat desert plain
You broke through my defenses
And left me ripped and torn
All I needed
All I desired
Burned away
Like a fire's storm
And now that I am awake
I wonder what it was
That I let you take
I had nothing
And still
Have nothing
Empty at the core
Empty of my personal dreams
Emptied of myths and lore
