A dream

By Bluegirl

So many tears
Heard by no one else's ears
but my own
Why can't I reach out
for your loving hands
And take the help that is offered?
Too stubborn
Too tired
Too desperate
To resist harmful habits
You may as well stop trying
The more you reach out
The further away I will run
Just tell me
at first morning's light
that it was only
A dream
And give me something better.

    amazing. Despite the desire to push away, and run, there is still a hope within the last lines of embrace. Great work, i too know the trials of stubborness =)
