Living in a Nightmare

Which is better?
To love…
Or to have lost?

For pain is real
But love is just an illusion
For when I lost you
I finally knew the truth
But when I loved you
I only knew lies
When I lost you
I could see my tears
But when I loved you
I saw nothing
I heard you

But I saw nothing

When you broke me
I grew stronger
But when you loved me
I only grew weaker
I was living on something
That wasn’t there
But now I live in reality
A world full of cold hears
That have been broken to many times
To be mended
For why is it the only thing
That can mend what love has broken

Is love itself?

They say that love will save us
But look what its made us become
Tormentors of our own souls
Monsters of our own fate
Forever living to achieve our nightmare
Forever striving to become our killer

To those who say they are happy…
Then why do you cry at night?
For I have cried for those whom I loved
And I have wept for those whom I have lost
But never have I shed more tears
Then the night I realized
Those who caused me the most pain

Where the ones I loved the most

For it has created a hole within us
Which only itself can fill
So forever we will go hunting
For that which prays on our hearts

So tell me now which is better?
To live in a dream…

Or to wake up from a nightmare?
