Dream Keeper, Dream Keeper,
are there any dreams stashed away
in my file or have they all just been
nightmares and haunted shadows
waiting to feast on me?

I've given up on learning how to
keep breathing under water and
when memories crush the soul
what kind of dreams could
possibly follow? Dream keeper,
Dream Keeper, please just don't
let go of my mind yet.

Give me one more night
to try and dream with a
velvet heart and no choices
or regret, hold on a little longer,
just for me.

You said, "see you later,"
I smiled, "Not yet, one sec..."
and stood on my tip toes
putting my lips to yours
praying you wouldn't mind
as I fell back to earth
and you walked away again
without saying a word.

I took my test, I did better
than I was expecting for
shaking so much and
thinking with a cloudy mind
as my heart kept time
to a different tune than usual.

You always said I would be
your first, but as perfect
as it was, I feel like I have
failed you once more and
if I were you, I don't think
I could forgive me for
something quite like that.

"I have something to say.
It's the most important thing
you will hear all day! You need to
hear this. You'll want to listen,"
the world will scream at you.

But this, this is the only time
it will ever be completely true,
(but I guess that's what
everyone says, every time.)

You are magnificent.

It is time
to forget
me

Bloodstained silences,
emerald stories,
chocolate eyes

"I wish you found me important,"
Lighting whispered to Rain.

"You have never been
anything less than beautiful to me,"
Rain cried to Lighting
as she flickered away again.

How could you?

How could you possibly leave me
in the time I need you most...
Can you not see the hole in my chest
that I am trying so desperately to hide?

I just wish you would realize the importance
that you have in my life.

Please,
just come back to me...
