I hope you say my name in your sleep,
I hope it makes you panic,
to see my face in your dreams
I hope I appear dangerous,
mighty, vengeful,
a Fury,
wanting to dig out your heart,
to make your warmth my home
I hope you weep when you wake,
I hope i get etched in your very thoughts,
I hope it makes you think
about how you could have been
my always and forever
I hope it fills you with dread,
to remember how you failed me.
