She dreamt a dream that night. That did not fade with the light. Removal of gloom. An empty room. She dreamt that death was not the end. That there are some bad things that good could offend. Dark mark removed. Good ending assumed.

If this were all a dream, It would not be so bad. Pain gone with a sigh. Lit by the soft neon glow of a night light. Wrapped up somewhere uniquely safe. *** But not this life. Maybe the next. For memories last longer than a dream, And pain is strong enough to break through…

She tried every night. Pulling back to that place of solitude. Where pain could not reach. To where there were no secrets to keep. Watched over by a blanket of eternal stars. *** She tried in order to connect. To match that eternal love. Sometimes, to dare and whisper a dream. Hope to ask for…

The moon always comes again. Yet I have run out of feelings to feel. These days I only wake to sad vibes. Trying to live when those dreams bring more comfort. Like a delayed hug from the past. Yet, I’m tired of dreaming. *** I just want to live. Not holding on until yet another…

This is just one big road trip I never planned. Been here. Been there. Been where you are. Been where my headlights are the only light under the cloud covered night. Funny how the stars almost never shine when you are alone. I did not start out as the driver, sometimes still not. Asleep in…

In the quiet is where I fall apart. Tears tasting like the lost dreams of yesterday. They are magic you see. Invisible in public and you would never know. But a storm always comes. In public is not where I get ahold of myself. It is in the quiet where I charge my magic. For…

Dear friend, where have you gone? Disappeared along with yesterday’s innocence. Punished by circumstance. Where have you gone? To a different world I never can exist in. Sent away because of the actions of another. Where have you gone? Sealing those memories up in a golden bag to never open. I yearn for that lost…
