Confliction To Nothing, To Know One

How funny.
Chills race down my spine
This isn't a competition
Waking with the moon falling
The sun meets her halfway
A graceful trade 
It's early
I can still hear you breathing
Though I realize it's been months
I feel your arms wrap me
Closer and closer until...
Shortened breath
I close my eyes
And you're gone
I still can't breathe
Paralyzed too
Here i lay
Drenched in sweat that shouldn't be
Here I am alone
I'm alone today
I'm alone yesterday
I'm alone tomorrow

It becomes easier to be alone
No one to break promises
No one to break
I've been lying awake
Hours have passed, have I moved?
Even slightly?
I can't remember
All muscles are stiff
It might have been days
Possibly weeks
I wouldn't know, my clock broke itself
It wouldn't shut up
It's its own fault
Telling me. Telling me constantly,
How long I've been alone

I dreamt of you again
I wont sleep tonight
It's easier this way, for the both of us
The one who knows i'm better off
And the one who holds me here
Unable to move from this spot
There are two of us now..
The she who is sane and at peace
And the she who is insane and longs for peace
Peace is not to be taken, it is to be accepted
So here we lay, drenched
Awaiting peace

    "...It's it's own fault..."

    "It's its own fault"
