I imagined a life…
Without the addictions.
Without the pain.
Without this endless cycle of highs and lows.
A life…
I’ve never known.
And sometimes I see you there.
But you never belong in my reality, only my dreams.
Dreams where the sights are beautiful and nothing ever feels lonely.
I never knew I needed love.
Real love.
Because the one I had…
Was just for show.
It was all a tragic, heartbreaking
Show.
