and running through the night, i'm cold and i'm hurt. but isn't it always that way? when was the last time i saw the sun? do thoughts really affect how you feel? can't think... only run... running through the empty darkness, empty lonely. got one foot in but can't quite go over. doesn't matter, just run...
cold sweat nightmares.
laying in warm grasses. feeling arms around me. but the sun rises and hits my skin and i burn and i burn and i burn. i try to slink into the ground, but i'm too weak and it's all peeling. my skin is boiling. i'm boiling. i'm flaking. ashes, ashes, ashes, ashes... it burns.
cold sweat nightmares.
standing by the fireside in corset and long skirt. keeping me barefoot in the castle and the cold stone on my feet. crying, wiping long powder-hair back from lace-covered shoulders. my lord comes pondering. i hear him, i hear him. it's the chains and the king's bed for me.
cold sweat nightmares.
waking up and rolling over. did i feel your breath on my neck? did i feel your arm around my waist? i'm cold, i'm cold. my bed is so dirty. it's stone and old and lonely and dust covered, forever unused. stretching out and up and cannot sleep. too many cold sweat nightmares and dreams. cold sweat. cold lonely.
god, i can feel it. i can feel you beside me. i want you. i'm lonely. i'm cold.
god, i can feel it. your breath...
slow caresses, up my legs and down my back. warm warm warm. stop...
