The dream was like a forbidden
lover
Taken from me by the beep
of the 'morrow
The man who stole the dream
was the only man I loved
Sweet at first then turned
into a thing that only nightmares know
Why must they all steal my
peace of mind?
My only thing left that
keeps me apart from the monsters
The only strength left in me
that is not being torn apart from my mind
My own little piece of heaven
that became my own he**

&quot;And when I&#039;m gone, just carry on, don&#039;t mourn<br /> Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice<br /> Just know that I&#039;m looking down on you smiling<br /> And I didn&#039;t feel a thing, So baby don&#039;t feel my pain<br /> Just smile back&quot;-Eminem
