I had a dream once,
Where you looked like you,
But you spoke like him.
You began to treat me the way he once had,
Began to lie to me as he once did,
You became him so much so
That eventually you looked liked him.
I remember I woke up in a cold sweat,
I made you promise me you'd never become like him,
That you would never place me in a position where I'd have to leave you like I did him,
But here I am back into reality months later,
And my nightmare has started to become the life around me.
You have started to think that he's right.
That what they do is right.
You called him your brother yesterday,
And I realized I'd been breathing in your promises
And ignoring the obvious fact that,
You love him.
That's how it all starts.
He is so intoxicating that you have no desire to come out,
I want to believe this is a dream,
Just another nightmare that feels all too real,
But it's been weeks and I haven't woken up in a cold sweat.
It's been weeks and I don't remember the last time the person I loved treated me with respect.
It's been weeks and I'm starting to see him seeping through your pours.
Draining you out of yourself
And replacing it with him.
And all I can do is cry about how much it's going to hurt when I have to leave you.
