Helpless

By Dragonfly

Avoiding your disapproving gaze
that has been resting on me the past couple of days
A hopeless fight I suppose
I'm like a haunted man who can't out run his ghost.
It feels like I'm coming undone
as you push my breath away from my lungs
We used to be so close
but life is a bitch like that I know
So don't stay the night
I can't promise I won't bite.
Cause when your here
all I hear are all of my childish fears.
You know me too well
and haunt my still.
Your my ghost of the daylight hours
haunting me beyond my powers.
Empty my heart as a fountain
and bathe underneath while shouting
All of my insecurities and every mistake ever made
then empty them out in your forever shade.
In your shadow is where I rest
never passing your final test.
