"hey, don't cry."

how could i not

when you left me behind?

my being was in disarray

always looking at the sky

thousands of tears were shed for you,

that i can't deny.

"i'm not gonna leave you."

once i held on to everything,

but now they have no value

what you say are words

that the wind would blew

because when it comes to you

nothing was ever true.

"i'm always by your side."

like water, your words

has long ago dried

whenever you talk

true and false would collide

were your phrases even

from deep inside?

i tossed and turned

the bed was creaking

i'm hearing your voice

this can't be real

my body struggled to escape

this place of make-believe

finally i snapped open an eye

and confirmed it wasn't reality 

"brionne, i love you."

clarke, stop haunting me.
