...Fearsome Dreams

By SolApathy

Run away with the dream
A night with no screams
Cold chills and sweats unseen
To be myself if I could only remember what that means
Find myself lost in thought of memories- - betrayed
My blood runs hot in the sunlight of a happiness once wrought
Upon the fantasies of a happiness that could never be bought
Childhood dreams and a view so innocent it cries
Knowing of the adulthood in which it will die
   Broken in the moment – These wings never meant to fly
I dip my ink into the blood of now fading dreams
Looking out of the window I see only fearsome things
I whisper silently in the hope that my fear won’t echo too far
Arising the demons that brought these scars
Should I scream for you?
Would you come to my aid of one who has used the blade?
I battle my veins every day
I hear in my mind - - words they say - - I believe to be true
Bloody bathtub parable- - in song they soothe
I know of what they dream
I fear now that it’s my dream

    Amazing how you just whip these up. Reminds me of my growing up in some ways, demons and knives and screams... But it wasn't all bad ;)
