Out-of-State Thoughts

My thoughts don’t even feel like mine anymore
whenever your image graces my mind.
They’re just insignificant strangers crawling on the floor
leaving my sanity and judgement behind.

I never had bad dreams until you got in my head,
Now images of monsters caress my nights.
But nightmares are the last thing that I dread,
Thinking of you I’m afraid to even turn off the lights.

I didn’t think I was the kind of person to fall so fast,
especially for someone like you.
I’m not even sure how long this will last,
my sanity is now long overdue.

But I’ll just wait it out, it’s all I know how to do,
Anything else would just hurt you.
And in the end, you’re my friend
And that isn’t something I want to do.
