If i Dance with an Empty Mind
By BetaWolfinVA
If i dance with an empty mind,
i may survive another night,
looking around in my dreams,
wishing for a hold on dreams...
-
if i find a hold on hope,
should i let it free or cope
within this edge sharp place
between defeat and despair...
-
if i wish too hard,
will i begin to feel,
the
desperation in my soul?
-
or should i just coast some more
shooting my self in the foot as i go
dancing through this lunatics
hell

Author's Note:
I think this must have been just after another one of raven's lifeline calls where i saved her life but put my sanity at risk.Comments on "If i Dance with an Empty Mind"

that is quite literal... at the end of my first marriage, when i finally started to believe that i could be getting free soon i collapsed, took me a long time to work through that... but this poem was written much earlier (q.v. goddess of ravens) with raven i knew that every thing i hoped for, dreamed for, was wrong in the eyes of society and it was shattering to me... and being shattered by it (and avoiding her as society dictated, for as long as i could) is why she eventually left me... but she kept coming back, but after loving her and having to avoid her for so long, i was set in avoidance
