You are not stuck in vain, just dream...

 

Dreaming My Life Away

I rip myself from your world
into another
dreaming hoping
for a new beginning
a world awaits
filled with wonder
my last night with you
almost as breathless as the night itself
the darkness embraces me
the time has come to speak
these words that fill
my mind
my life
my dreams

Waiting

Close the window
turn out the light,
I write too much
I don't say enough.
I say too much
yet I tell you nothing at all.
I remain silent to the truth,
the truth that is killing me and you.
I am silent because I cannot see,
the reasons why you let things be.
I tell myself I must find out and learn
the why and the how?
But I cannot bring myself to remember all of it now.
It's not up to me, to see,
what happened then is right now.
I am still standing here in the nowhere,
waiting to remember...

Kiss the Night

with every word a mystery unfolds
this story has remained untold
but now the time has come
we reach out into this darkness
that grants us the gift to see
and write the words of the night
our hands kiss the page and we kiss the night
only the readers of the word will know
who we be
if they in turn, kiss the night

Tonight

I thought of you tonight...
The pain is there, so clear in your eyes
as sharp as the knife that pierces through
but somehow, you always manage
to make it through

I wish I could be as strong as you
facing the fear
and all these things so grim
never letting your spirit dim
I wish I could be like you...
but maybe I am...

I take your hand in mine
feeling the warmth of our embrace
your heart beating, right beside mine
We feel our pain, we know it well
"It's not all in vain," I say
"Only the beginning of the end"

We wipe the tears away
You flash a smile
your spirits lifted...you say
"When this night is through...
and a new day shines for you...
that's when you know...
everything's going to be ok"

I force a smile
and look in your eyes
the pain still resides...
but a glimmer shines too
a look of hope...

And that's when I knew
everything was going to be ok...

Trapped

You rip me from sleep
filling my mind with you
thoughts hopes dreams covering me
liquefied and smooth

they slowly move
into this mind and out again
molding and forming into something
more tangible

so real I can almost feel it
almost taste it between my lips salty and sweet
like the blood I held so sacred

I searched, but the release I cannot find
trapped imprisoned in this mind

Dare I let these words and thoughts
bleed from my hand?
If I do will I be free?
Or forever will your thoughts imprison me?

Untitled

The darkness of night descends
in the stillness I reach for you
But you're not there
I've searched high and low
in my plains of despair
But you are still not there
When dawn comes near
I will still be here, waiting for you

Your promise of long ago
I have not forgotten
Our pact made in blood unchanged
The emptiness of night wears on
I am feeling estranged, deranged
In my insanity I find calm
Amidst the lies a truth is found

Perhaps I have seen
with a wrong perspective
You have been here all along
waiting for me... to finally see
