You're more than a figment of my imagination,

You're alive within me,
Breathing my air,
Hearing my sounds,
Feeding off my being,

And I feel you,
Existing within me,
Caging my thoughts,
Trapping my mind,

But I love you dearly,
And I hope,
You'll love me too,
With time,

As an extension of my brain,
That hinders me,
Frees me,
And makes my world colorless,

And I'm okay with it,

Because the vivid dreams you conjure,
Are more beautiful,
Than anything,
The world can give me,

And you are my world,
Inside my head,
Invading my privacy,
Nesting in my memories,

But you're only an illusion,
I've created to aid me,
In my battle between,
Me and myself,

And I'm afraid of you,
Because you make me disappear,
Into your nothingness,
Into your fear,

But I'm okay with it,

Because living without you,
Is something I could not bear,
And I need you,
To keep me from despair.
