Co-dependence

Co-dependence
I cannot fulfill your dreams.
I have dreams of my own
or rather I once had
but the memory
still remains
and someday
I may chase what is left of them.

I cannot enter your nightmares
I have nightmares of my own
I am trying to awaken from.

I cannot be drowned in your noise
I am drowning in my own noise
trying
to find a silent corner.

I am walking on my own tightrope
balancing you
and the rest of my life.
I cannot afford to be pulled
and lose my balance.
